The Stromberg BXOV-26 and the Carter 577 and 530 were offered as replacements going back to 1937 for the sixes.
I own a 39 6 which would originally have had a Chandler Groves; these were quickly dropped by Packard after 39 for performance reasons. Stromberg and Carter offered aftermaket units for the earlier sixes and became production offerings later.
Mine has had a Carter on it for 30 years and is doing great. I also have the Stromberg to rebuild and could use it, but never had reason to. These will fit any six from 37 to 50, including the later white truck version of the Packard 6.

Well, unless you are using a Hudson or motorcycle speedometer, the input cable speedometer will still be 1000rpm=60mph.

You'll need to know the rear axle ratio to ensure the right number of teeth on the driven gear (17,18, or 19 teeth, I think).
See the parts manual on this site to look it up.

Done. Long live the Jackard.

Did you succeed at the installation? Have any photos?

Glad you found your answers. Sorry I couldn't help.

This is a new old stock, King Seeley speedometer in its original box. I just finished cleaning out the old dry grease and oil, relubricating and calibrating it.


$250

The Tachometera did indeed have two hands. One was stationary and attached via a knob inside the glass so the user could set a reference point similar to later tachs. The rest of the unit is nearly identical to the speedometer internals. I have three or four of these in my shop and one of the right angle adapters. But have never seen the generator itself as big Kev mentioned.

Kev, All,
My speedometer biz soace is C4Q-28 in chocolate north. I don't spend all my time there, however. Like most of you, I am also looking for goodies in the flea market and hope to meet those of you i havent before in the Packard area.
