Hi Howard,

That was an amazingly detailed description! Thanx for the super quick response. Definitely a good winter project.

Cheers,

Has anyone repaired this switch. One of the four is intermittent in my car and I don't have any idea how to gain access to the guts.
Thanx, Les

Has anyone tried reversing the C & E connections on the transistor in the flasher?

FWIW, here is a copy of the page from the 24th series service manual,if it attaches. Hope it doesn't add any confusion. Les

I never ran my engine prior to a major rebuild, so it must have been really tight and the starter motor was probably tired.
On page 12 of the electrical section of the 24th Series service manual that I have, both are mentioned with the Autolite having considerably more torque than the Delco. It seemed to fit well as the mechanic didn't complain! In any case, it's worked well for me.

Just a tidbit...My 54 Convertible was really hard to start when hot with the Delco starter that was on the car when I bought it. Packard also used an Autolite starter for the 359. When I changed to the Autolite the problem was solved. There is a thread on this site detailing this, so take a look for it.

Good luck on your projects,

Les

Hi JS,

I had my 1954 359 rebuilt, including all new lifters. Two of the lifters were noisy after the rebuild and I had to have them replaced. Financially painful!

Good luck, Les

You can try to look into this site:

I've had good luck with them in the past.

They have Packard colors and I have ordered from TCP Global. They matched my Chariot Red very well.
