You may want to change that generator in a GENERNATOR that's right it will boost the amps up to 50 and will look totally original on the outside (still maintaining 6volt). Check out Jay Lenos garage for the GENERNATOR video. Had my 1940 180 converted and it works great!

Thank you, by the way do you or anyone else out there have a pic of the plate with the timing marks on it? I tried wire brushing my plate but their either to worn (or my eyesight is too poor) to read them.

Does any auto parts supplier carry the points and condenser for the 356 engine? I think mine may be bad.

One question I have since I am looking to get the radio restored to operation is who made it and what model number is it?

I am pretty sure its already there.

  Me and my 1940 Packard.jpg (434.38 KB)

I live in the northeast Philadelphia area and am looking for a garage to store one of my antique cars. I am interested in the northeast area or Bensalem. I have 3 cars but I only need space for one. The 3 cars are all insured and driveable the biggest one is a 1955 Packard 400 the smallest one is a 1965 Oldsmobile Cutlass convertible I also have a 1940 Packard. Don't even refer me to craigslist because after communication with some of the incompetents who posted garage available only to find out they were still occupied or the owner was out of town and we could not meet I am ready to pull my hair out. I am a retired police officer on disability so the price must be reasonable.

Never mind found it in the 1940 Packard salesman's book 68" tall.

Does anyone know the HEIGHT of a 1940 180 5pass sedan? I have to find a new garage for it and need to know how tall it is.
