Hello to all. Is Mike Dulinski still on operation?. I have a number 218-721-4631 and an email mmnpacsler@aol.com which are no longer valid. I've been to his place, and have spoken to him many times, but it has been years now. He was instrumental in my drive train swap project for my 56 Clipper constellation hard top project. Which I never finished. I am going to get rid of it, and wanted to see if he wanted it first, before I officially put it out there.

We were about the same age, so he is probably retired.

Thank you Howard. I'll get at it as soon as I finish getting all the crud off.

Best Wishes

Hello all. I recently purchased a new dust boot to put on my 1950 Super eight. After cleaning a ton of crud off the transmission. I can see the decayed boot. But I not sure what the procedure is for it's replacement. I looks very hard to get to.

Dave O

Great!. I'll send you a message. I have decided to replace the tank, and was looking at the Mopar-pro tank. Has anyone installed one of their tanks?. If so how was it?

So, I have 1950 with a rusty gas tank, it also needs a new sending unit, which I have.So I am looking for for opinions. Do I spend the 900.00 dollars for a new tank, If so what do I do about the filler tube. Or do I just try to clean up the tank I have. I don't want my heirs to have a problem with my decisions.What are your opinions. I trust you all

Yes, I agreed with Howard, Mine was held in place by a clip that held the ball an socked in place.

Thank you. Those look just like the Trico one's I found. So I guess I'll try that.

I appreciate all the ideas, and help from all.

Thanks, I did check this under the main menu first. The part number listed as you referred to is a 12 inch version of 33-111 that I found on the internet. As the author suggests it may fit others, but it will be to long for my car.

Thanks for replying,
Dave O

hello folks; On a 23rd series 1950. What is a good replacement wiper blade. After doing my own checking it looks like a Trico 33-111 might fit, but at $25.00 a piece I don't want to be guessing. Plus I don't think they look as nice as the straight ones for a flat windshield do.

Any ideas?

Thanks
Dave O

Yes; there is. I just put one in my 23rd series. It fits perfect. It is reversible. I purchased mine through joe's antique auto parts for $50>00. www.joesantiqueauto.com The only minor issue is the mounting bolts are a smaller diameter than the Packard. I just found a couple of washers the right diameter for the bolt and tacked them in place on the ring before replacing the rubber vibration grommets. The shaft is 1/4, but it comes with a shaft sleeve to make it 5/16.

P.S. There is only one 6v motor out there. It is made in Canada. I found this same motor marketed for a Ford, Chevy, Jeep, from $50.00 to $130.00
