Nice trip here in Switzerland, after finishing restoration. Not completely reliable but will find last little problems soon I hope.
Thanks to all the people that helped me directly or indirectly on this forum to achieve the rebirth of this gem!

Thanks for information and pic!
This shows that clamps on my Packard are definitively not "stock". Will change it to tower-style clamps ...
Best Regards
Eric

Do you mean water hose clamps?
Here are two pics of my 1938 Packard Eight.

Thanks Howard for your answer, I really appreciate your help.
As I do not have an original copy of the 38-39 shop manual, your copy of page 22 is very usefull!
Unfortunatelly, I do not have both switches. Looking at this page 22, I do not think the jumper is needed on 39 switch. Anyway, I will make an electrical check just to see if there is any difference with or without jumper in action.
Thanks again for your answer and best Regards
Eric

Wiring Question

Hello,
I am still on my Packard Eight Four doors Touring Sedan 1938 restoration project.
I am working now on the re-wiring of the car.
After disassembling the dashboard, I found that the lighting switch configuration does not correspond to the 1938 model wiring diagram, but rather to the 1939 model diagram.
In particular, I'm not sure which connectors I should attach the #21 wire to. On the 1938 model, the first section of wire attaches to the left side, then the second section attaches to the connector on top.
But on the 1939 model, the first section of wire attaches to the right side at the end, and nothing is listed for the second section of wire. Can anyone tell me about this?
Thanks in advance for your help and have a great weekend.
Eric

Thank you very much for these two "instructions" (they are perfectly downloadable and readable in pdf).
Will be very helpful for me on my restoration project!

Best Regards

Here is the line on my Packard Eight 1938.
The hose is straight, but difficult to know if it is original or previously cut.
