Packard electric was originally part of Packard car company but was sold off to General Motors sometime in the 1930,s ,maybe to get more operating capital? Just for info about the electric part, for those who didn't know.

What carb are you using,a Stromberg? The way you have the safety wire will tend to open or richen if there is any flexing of the vacuum line,that it is tied to. The original factory carb was CHandler-Groves or later known as Holley.The original factory replacement was WA1 Carter. Even though the C-G carb was said to be bad,I have known two 115C owners who used the C-G carb with no problems.

Its a wheel cyl. pin. They used 2 per wheel cylinder. I doubt it is from your car, if your brakes are working well. Probably a spare part.

In overdrive you will get that sensation.

If you need the CYL. ventilator outlet tube,it is the same for all 120C,115C,1600 1,1A,1D,2, 1700 1,1A,2 1800 1,1A 1900 1,1A engines part no.333934 Superceded by 315430
Anyone selling a parts engine would probably sell you one or Kanters or Max Meritt or any of the parts venders.

I have a 55-56 parts book I would sell you, but I will check issue date. You can call or write me.

The idle screws will only affect mixture at idle. Moving them out counterclockwise will richen the mixture.

The 245 engines had larger valves than the original 1937 size engines.They use a different head gasket because the larger valve size. I have a running 245 engine and with a new spare head gasket for sale, if anyone is interested.

Its a good book but but has a couple of mistakes. It states the top door metal garnish parts were chrome plated. They were not, but were wood grained, like the dash. As my car was purchased as a 20 year old used car,so I know how the original one's were.

As far as the ends of the sway bar,Ron Carpender in CaLif. used to rebuild the ends for some years. Though he might not be around anymore.
