Does anyone know if there is a blueprint for a 1951 to 1954 Packard chassis, I would need one with engine height and suspension on it. I have attached a chassis side view I got off the web of another make car so you can see an example of one of the views I would need. I would need a front and side view. Thanks

When I put my 1932 385 engine together there was a dot on the drive gear. I think it corresponded to a dot on the camshaft. You can't get the distributor gear out without taking out the camshaft on a 385. You could make a new drive shaft which clocks the distribute in the right direction. (I would think the 320 ci engine has the same configuration.)

I'm a mechanical engineer. I've been around aircraft to long. I like to leave it the way the original engineer designed it. I still don't read the instructions when putting together kids' toys though. I really appreciate the help on the original radio installation.
I've got a friend who an EE and designed antennas who laughs at my original running board antennas.

Thanks. I installed it and the directions worked perfect for my 1936 standard 8.

I am installing an original radio in a 1936 Packard Standard 8. The firewall is not Drilled for the 3 studs on the back of the radio. Is there a template for drilling the mounting holes. Are there any installation in instructions? I would like to locate the radio and speaker in the original location. Thanks.

Hi Dell

I actually have all those parts. You wouldn't by chance have taken the gear out of the part your having plated, maybe I could get some measurements of it since I just need Bothe gears. thanks

Thanks Howard. I didn't realize that part was a vender. Thats probably why I couldn't find it in the parts list. Thanks again.

My Standard 8 coupe (1936) uses 1 vacuum motor which runs linkage to 2 gears which protrude slightly through the header above the windshield. I am
missing the gears in the transmission which hangs down below the top of the windshield header like the one in the picture. I thought if someone had
one off and could see the part number of the lower transmission. I could get a blueprint and buy a generic gear or make one. I could not find the
part number in the parts list. It's probably there but I couldn't find it. Thanks

The 120 c must be different lower wiper transmission than a standerd 8. I have a gear above the windshield so there must be a gear in the housing which
I have pictured. So, I your 120c parts will not fit. Thanks for the help.

I have used it on another car for about 10 years. My 1936 Packard has only run about 3 hours. I personally have had bad luck with 2 rebuilt coils by another vender.
The coil I used needed a ballast resister.
