Greetings all,
Does anyone have a vacuum hose layout (schematic) as the former owner has eliminated a lot of the hoses, rerouted others, etc.. He says he did nothing to the oil pump/vacuum pump in the oil pan. He did mention that there was a plate available to modify the pump and wish he had when he had the engine torn down. I'm of the old school that why mess with what the Packard engineers designed, unless someone can show me the benefits of a modification. Remember, I drove the car 400+/- miles home between 55 and 60 MPH - only comfortable speed due to flat spots on new (20 year old) bias belt tires and surging. Consolation, I got 13.9 MPG where I was anticipating 10 or less. Thanks in advance for any and all help. Mack BTW my e-mail has been changed to aprazer10@outlook.com Next up is the leveling system. Mine has been modified to operate manually and I'm thinking that I want to go back to the original operational system.

thank you - I do have a repair and parts manuals on order. I didn't know that the Packard Club had information as well.
Thanks again, Mack

Yes it was. I just now found the pamplet stating it was thw 13th anniverary. 1983 was a good year - whow, how time flies. You wouldn"t be Don Pierson? I was driving a black 53 Cavalier (300) at the time and it has disappeared off the face of this earth. Restoring this car burnt me out and it took a while to get back into the groove.
Don't own a Packard now, but looking for a post war vintage.

Greetings from Idaho,
Please send me a list of what you have of the front bumper and prices. Packard probably consolodated those pieces into one bumper for cost savings. I'll take a look at e-bay on the tail lights and get back to you if they don't work. Thanks for your help, Mack
