Sadly no, just the anti-theft number stamped on the firewall.

I purchased a complete 1937 1506 1023 that started and ran smooth. I was told about the clutch being frozen to the flyWheel. No amount of bumping would loosen it. Maybe yours is frozen up also? I finally got it pealed off and rebuilt. No pins To keep it in place. You aligned everything with the normal type alignment tool. The car had set for decades without being moved.

Yeah, I think mine is "rust frozen" together. I'll just have to keep at it.

Found both the engine and the chassis on Ebay. The engine came from an old-timer up in New England, he kinda sounded like Jimmy Stewart. The chassis came out of an even older guys farm in Texas, he sounded like John Wayne. Cool guys to meet and chat with. They were both very happy someone was going to put their old parts to use.

Hmm......Somewhat of a quandary. Not really enough to register as a "Packard", although there have been a oouple of rare instances where a chassis oomplete with an engine has made it on to the Registry. In your case, disparate chassis aand engine types doesn't quailfy what you have as complete enough to be classified as a "Packard". I'm sorry. But, it's an interesting collection of "parts".

One day it will be far enough along for the registry. Here is what I have.

G'day Rafaga,

to PackardInfo, but sorry I can't help with your query.

However, I invite you to include your '37 V12 Packard in PackardInfo's Packard Vehicle Registry

Hi Ozststman,
I don't have a complete car to register. What I have is this '37 engine and a '37 Super 8 chassis.

There are probably some pins in the block which locate the bell housing. They may be the cause of not getting the bell housing removed. Also, before going any farther, reinstall a few of the pressure plate cap screws. This will keep the pressure plate from coming off with the housing. You can remove the plate after the housing is off (I think). There are others here who have actually worked on the V-12s and can either verify what I have written or give you the correct info.

Thanks for that info. I was kinda thinking the same thing, but didn't know for certain. Good advice on the pressure plate.

V12 Clutch Help

Just popping in

Hoping someone can shed a little light here. I'm trying to remove the clutch from this '37 V12 engine and not having any luck. The eight large bolts that hold the bell housing ring (not sure what it's called) to the block have been removed. Also, the twelve bolts that attach the pressure plate to the flywheel have been removed. Yet, it won't come off. If I tap the bell housing with a plastic mallet it sounds loose, but won't budge. The pressure plate sounds solid when tapped. Don't want to cause any damage, so proceeding cautiously.

What am I missing?
