Stamped on the firewall in between triangles c34065
And on the drivers side firewall metal tag with brigs on bottom 2662 23213

So Howard it sounds like with the conditioner my car is in a should deffinetly go with a push button....any recommendations where ?
Also I've read that converting to 12v system is better? What's your guys opinion on that?

Ok guys everything you said worked like a charm......ive had the car running before now its not starting up, it's turning over ...i purchased a new 6 volt battery it seems like its week but maybe a bad starter solonoid?? Or its a carb issue. It usually starts when i spray starter fluid into the carb

Ok great got it! The previous owner for some reason felt the original way was unsafe and disconected the leads on the carb, im going to reinstall them and hopefully it works!
Thanks for everyone's help this is my first packard so I'm green!

Wow thanks for the great info!
The previous owner disconected the leads from the carberator and installed a manual push button under the hood. If i was to install the leads back onto the carb like the original way, would that method be safe? So basically just press down on the gas pedal and turn the key to start the car?
I have a 1953 packard clipper delux
Thanks again for your help!

Why does the gas pedal need to be used to start the clipper? And can I bypass this feature somehow?
Im sorry this is my first packard I dont know much about it
