Hello again fellow Packard lovers
I have estimated the turns per mile the speedo cable makes is 1000 . I used a cordless drill torqued on to the cable with a white chalk mark on the chuck and it was easy to count the turns at low speed , I did this for the turnover of 6/10ths of a mile and for each of the 10ths the revs were 100 . I had read somewhere that someone thought the turns per mile was 1000 and it looks like thats correct . With that number , the tyre size and the diff ratio the correct gears can be worked out for the new R700 box . Thanks for your help and interest . Chris.

Thank you all who contributed but it seems there is no definitive info on this so Im thinking of turning the cable manually while counting the turns until 1 tenth of a mile registers and then multiplying those turns x 10 to give turns per mile . Will keep you all posted .

Hello fellow Packard lovers
I have recently fitted my 1954 clipper super with a turbo 700 auto and Im very pleased with the result , the original speedo is the last challenge to be worked out and if I know how many revolutions the cable has to turn to make 1 mile that will complete the formula since I have the tyre size and diff ratio. Any info would be greatly appreciated . Regards Chris

To Mr Pushbutton
I am building a modified 1953 Studebaker and would like to use a push button gear changer on the turbo 350 gearbox currently in the car . Would the Packard type be adaptable or is there some after market system I could use . regards chris

I am not suggesting NOS should be devalued because of reproduction parts and I would be happy to pay more for the best available . You have misunderstood my ? which was - are there any differences in the quality of the lifters offered by Merrit and Kanter

G- day fellow addicts
Anyone know why Merrits hydraulic lifters for 327cu in motors are double the price of Kanters - are they better quality or just overpriced . Chris
