For those who are curious to see what happened....
First start on gas. Not a great video but for me it was a magical moment.

At first it runs on 5 or maybe 6 cylinders but it gets better every second. I will post another video with the second start!

Hello to all !
Found the gaskets locally !
I wanted the engine running before going any further.
Unblocked a few exhaust valves and put it all back together. Checked for oil in the engine and Ultramatic, cleaned the breaker points and spark plugs.
Guess what, after filling the carb trough the filter hole it fired up instantly !
Unbelievable ! After being at rest since 1965.
What's more is that the gearbox works as well !
Would like to post a video of this magic moment but that did not work out well.
Any suggestions on how to post a video ?

Thank you all for the information!

Hello to all Packard enthusiasts!
My first post here so I am a bit stressed.
Please forgive me my poor English.
I recently acquired a 1951 Packard 200 that had been sitting for about 55 years.
First thing to check was / is the engine.
I was very surprised that the engine had not seized up however, a few exhaust valves were stuck in the guides. So I took the manifolds and valve covers of to get to the valves. Free'd the valves.
The question is, where can I find new gaskets for the different components?
Tried " Kanter " but got no reaction what so ever. Send them an e-mail and an order form. Have been waiting for a week now so I am (very)disappointed.
Tried "Rockauto" but they do not have the gaskets.
Any suggestions?
I live in Belgium / Flanders so Packards are rather unique over here, let alone finding spare parts.
Thank you all for any tips!
Greetings from Flanders
