Pac 40,

I sent you a PM about a fender.

Pat,

I am looking for an exploded view breakdown of the 1940 Banjo Steering Wheel/Horn button assembly. I saw this quite a while back but wasn't able to print it out. Now I can't find it again.
I "may" have all of the correct parts but would like to see them and their assembly order.
THANKS !

I have been off of reassembling my 41 110 six engine for a while and cannot remember whether the large star washer associated with the valve spring goes under the spring on the block side or under the spring on the washer/retainer side ?

I suspect it was intended to go between the block and spring but I cannot find an exploded view of the engine showing its factory location.
I am always confident that I can remember little details of disassembly but it doesn't always turn out that way.

My 40 had originally been titled in Ohio with the engine number. Fortunately, the original engine was still in the car, but I did not want to remove and/or replace it without correcting the title situation. Years from now if someone is selling the car and the engine referenced on the title is gone, that's a mess.
So after giving the state of Virginia $125, a DMV officer came to my garage, verified the engine number and sent in paperwork to correct the title using the VIN plate number.

My trusty and usual search engine for all of craigslist has recently been altered, so it and all of the others are reduced to more localized searching. Laborious, time-consuming, probably not accurate, a general waste of time.
How are you guys still able to see craigslist across the entire country?
Thanks for posting what you see.

Thanks for the reference to Admiral Baldridge. A check of google reads of a notable figure in Naval history.
Someone should save this car! It makes me think that many of our Packards were owned by notable people, but that's not the only reason to save a Packard of course.
I am fairly local, but this car is just too big for my garage.

With this good advice I will attempt a repair of the oil line.
THANKS !

My 40 has this same oil fitting but my line looks much smaller in diameter than the picture posted, maybe 3/32" or even 1/16". My line is ruptured below the curly pigstail and about 2" before the special fitting going into the block adapter.
Can I torch the special fitting off, cut the line back to good metal, and resolder the fitting back on?
Is this plumbing solder or ox-acet brazing?

The adapter that screws in the block and mates with the oil line fitting looks to be a standard NPT fitting, so I would have thought a compression fitting would work here. But I am confused.
