I completed install of the Edmunds Finned Head last weekend and ran it... a short time to get things heated up enough and then re-torqued. So far...smooth as silk and all cylinder's firing. This weekend I expect to wrap up my cooling system and drive it.
I have had to fabricate/modify my Electromatic Clutch bracket assembly.

Water distribution Tube - 1948 - 356

Question:
Will the Water Distribution Tube just slide straight out the front? Mine looks to be brass. My car runs perfect and at temperature... BUT recently when I removed the head and drained coolant... I saw different colors of coolant in different areas which tells me I have a circulation problem. UPDATE: Thank you for the comments. I may leave well enough alone at this point. I replaced the Head and while doing so... noticed the differential coolant colors. I got a lot of crud out of the water jackets and hoes. I have cleaned and vacuumed out areas prior to installing new head. I will clean radiator and will install a re-built water pump. I am preparing for a Florida Club Event in late January. I expect to, in the next couple/ few years to freshen up the entire car. At that time, I expect to rebuild the engine. I have been collecting NOS Engine parts for about 30 years so I may have 1/3 of what I may need. LOL. At this point, for fear of damaging the WDT, I may leave well enough alone. I will flush the remaining system. I have heard many have had good luck with Thermocore...which I may try. I also will install a GANO Filter as I try to get rid of more crud as I get the car back on the road. Thanks!

Carbs are Carter 531S's.
The car is a '48 Custom Club Coupe. Stock Carb is the Carter 531S.

You should have no problem selling or trading one of the 359 heads should you so desire.
I would love to see pictures of the 359 factory heads. I looked for the Edmunds Head a long time... like nearly 30 years after I was asked, while selling parts at a Florida Club Event, if I had one or knew where one was from Tom Mix... At the time he was looking for a setup for his Darin. I've always been a OEM guy but I'm ready to give it a go.

Nice!
Ross - Is that your engine? I intend to install the Head in the next week or two and then follow-up after all's well with the Dual Carb setup. Does the install you shared have fuel regulators? I have seen some with and some without. I have two Dual Intakes. One similar to the system in the attached photo... It is hidden behind the one with the Carbs in place. I am located in South Georgia.

I have got a Finned Aluminum Head and (2) Daul Carb setups and Edmunds Oval Air Cleaners for my '48 Custom Eight Club Coupe.
I have had these items many years and have decided to install. Is there anyone out there who has installed this on their Packard. I have owned my '48 since '89 and I am ready to give it a go. I would love to know lessons learned or any other information one might provide. Thanks!

I have some 820 15's I took off of my '48 Custom 2 Door. 2 are worn near bald on inside but if on a back tire you would never see.
They look great...I'm in Georgia
