My 37 would do that boat in choppy water action on the front every time I hit a bump or bounced the front bumper. I added jack oil to the front absorbers and it greatly improved all that dipping and diving from the front. It took about 1/3 of a bottle between the two front absorbers so they must have been pretty low. I'm almost certain that I got the inspiration for doing that from this site so there may well be a thread out there about that.

This vendor may also be of some help to you.https://www.applehydraulicsonline.com/collections/packard

Fantastic job! If only I had the knowledge and skills you do. Those that can, do. The rest of us pay.

Re: White wall product inquiry

Thanks guys. I’m cool with the white walls. They are clean and bright. My question is if anyone knows if that Tire Magic (or similar products), applied to the black rubber of the tire after the fact, would discolor the white wall portion of the tire if it were hit by overspray or drip down. I’m trying to avoid finding out the hard way.

White wall product inquiry

This is not specifically Packard related, although I am looking to use it on my Packards. I have Wide Whites that started yellowing. I have always used, and still use Bleche White. I used it the other day on those yellowing white walls and they are back to being nice and bright.

My question relates to tire shine products. I have a bottle of Black Magic Tire Wet that I want to spray on the black of the tire to shine it up. My question specifically is, does anyone have any idea if it will cause any odd staining if I get it on those now bright whites? I suppose I could just spray it on a cloth or sponge and just wipe it on where needed, but frankly, my legs, knees, and back don't work as well as they used to and even that relatively easy task manages to take a day to recover from. Any one with insight on this? The bottle and their website doesn't say anything about not getting it on white walls.

This show was originally started in the back yard of Tom Kaiser, the Founder of The Florida Packard Club's home along with his longtime friend, Maurice Devereaux, in 1970. It outgrew the location as is now presented by The Sarasota Firefighter's Benevolent Fund.

Hi Dave, last night I stumbled across what I assume is your YouTube video regarding your swapping out of the carb. I will be doing this hopefully soon, and that video (and this thread with everyone's help and pictures) will be a great help. I hope you don't mind, I am including the link for others to see and for me to find again should I somehow lose my book mark.

1941 180 Motor mount
#9

My 1941 180 is lined up to go to a restoration shop (hopefully soon) to repair collision damage incurred by someone running a light and hitting the front. While it is at the shop, I was thinking of having them replace the front motor mount among other small jobs. I want to buy the mount ahead of time and I see Max Merrit has a front mount for the Super Eight listed as part number 341498, Group number 5.1603. It says it comes in a pair. I would have thought (probably incorrectly) that this would be a one piece rubber pad. If I order this, am I ordering the correct part? This all goes back to trying to get the fan belt off a while ago and the consensus seemed to be that it was likely that the front motor mount was worn and needed replacing.

John Ulrich Packard Parts

I would like to take a moment to give a shout out to John Ulrich Packard Parts.https://julrichpackard.com/index.htm

I had been looking at their battery box cover for my 1937 115C for a very long time and for one reason or another had been putting off getting it. I finally decided it was time to get it but first I contacted him to verify that the pricing on his website was current. After being told that it was, I was ready to purchase one but I was confused about payment as I didn't know what shipping would be so I didn't know how much to write a check for. My experience in the world of ordering parts has always been- order part, include check or credit card payment for part and shipping, wait for part. His other form of payment being PayPal, I didn't know how to generate a payment to him without a link from the website. After emailing him about this, the next thing I know, I get an email that the part is in the mail with it's invoice. I found that to be pretty amazing, because let's face it, in this day and age, almost all of us would be pretty reticent about sending a part and saying "pay me later". The part arrived within a couple of days and I made a bee line to my check book to make sure that the check went out the next day. I was not about to ruin the trust that had been put in me.

So, I just wanted to take the opportunity to thank John Ulrich Packard Parts for the great old fashioned service that I had thought had passed with the dinosaurs. I only regret that I don't have more to order from him at this point. Please consider him if you are in need of parts that he supplies.
