No experience with these

Did research on theses, then decided not to install the radio, the original type radio takes up to much room in the car
Just me with long legs

Thought they had the under running board antenna

Don't know if there is any truth to this, but I was told for my R11, you should not check the trans and OD fluid cold. He said the proper way was to start the car, let the clutch out in neural, get everything distributed all around the transmission, than check it. been doing that for a lot of years with no problems
The guy I talked to said the trans and over drive share the same fluid and cold or after its been sitting the overdrive drains back into the trans and could give you a false reading
Just a Thought
Good luck with it

Did a quick search and did not find anything
Looking for a Battery recommendation. Have been using Optima 6v red top, seems like I get 3 years out of them then nothing. Somebody got a line on something better?
Thanks

Ya, spell check is sometimes worthless

I really like mine 36 120
Drove it to the Glidden tour in Pa last year, 250 miles each way and the tour. Opened the hood once in a week and a half
The guy before me, put an R11 overdrive in, drove it down 95 for about 2hrs at 75 mph. At 70mph air gets under it and floats abet, at 70mph+ watch for cross winds
Have a guy that takes the distributer out and sets it up on a machine in the spring, files the points abet, then good to go for another season ( I put about 1500miles on it a year ). He say if you have a good set of points don't replace them. You need to oils the water pump seal from time to time, but mostly wash, wax and drive it
No matter what you get there will be some sorting out of problems, then the good part, just drive it
I have no problem recommending 120 Packard
Good luck, hope you have as much fun with yours as I have had with mine

Just a question from a non mechanic
Just got around to trying to fix my fuel gauge/fuel sending unit. I like to take the car for tours and a working fuel gauge is a great thing to have.
Is there a way to increase or adjust the movement of the needle in the gauge?
Got the sending unit out, got it working but when the sending is at the bottom limit (E), the gauge reads a little less than 1/4, when the gauge is at the top limit (F), it read a little above 3/4.
I can deal with this if it is very time consuming, but if its an easy fix, I would like to take care of it
Thanks again for your input

I really did not experience anything out of the ordinary, no milky oil, no loss of power, could not see any bubbles in radiator, I had to put about a cup off coolant in from time to time, I thought that was just because of it bubbling over when I shut it off. Also when I did the head, took the 39 head that had been cut, and replaced with a 37 head. The 36 head had been cut so you would have to double washer the spark plugs. Think the 37 head has bigger coolant passages, it has smaller spark plugs, it think was really common to see those head swapped, you have a 37 so it should not be an issue
Good luck with her
