I would be very interested, dan. If it would be easier to post a pic or two here or email them to me (i sould have my email under my info) that would be great. I was thinking of bidding on the ebay ones, but i avoid ebay if i can.
Thanks for the offer.-Mat

The obvious solution is to get a 53' Packard for my new hubcaps,huh. :)
I'll keep looking for some hubcaps. these were $10 each. Couldn't pass it up if they were correct. Thanks for the quick responses, guy. Mat

I just purchased hubcaps from a wrecking yard that i thought were the correct ones for my 49'Deluxe Eight.2362.
They unfortunately do not fit on the wheels i have with the car. I was wondering if (1) anyone can tell me if i have the wrong hubcaps and if so can anyone post a pic of the ones im looking for. or (2) or if i have the right hubcaps point me in the right direction on what are the wheels i need. There is always the chance the previous owner changed them. Just covering my bases. Any info would be awesome guys. Thanks. -Mat

Thank you for the help the tube does in fact light up the Gem located above the headlights.
The choke controls I have been ordering and recieveing have proven to be incorrect each time. Could be i have to cave and get a whole new carb. I found a gentleman who is selling a 48 standard 8 as a parts car but, won't part with the parts individual. The price for the whole car was just as bit high for me only needing a bit. If anyone else is interested i'll pass on his Number (CA). If anyone has a few spare 644 carbs and docent need the choke please drop a line and we can work something out. I'm going to continue trying to find something reasonable on ebay.

Goodness it's good to be back. I have learned in the past couple months of the disease that plagues the working on our loves... the removal of time and money. I was going to go to the Packard meet but the fates said "no" and i was very ill. I just got over a week of the flu (maybe Broncitis, i should really see the doctor more) and I am itching to try and get back into the garage.
I have returned to school to finish my education, that plus work and remaining to be a good husband has squeezed my time dry. The weather in the Central Valley (Cal) hasn't been the greatest this year either (for working on the car anyways). I have the air cleaner in from kanter and i got my choke control in only to realize it's the wrong size. It's a fraction of an inch too small in diameter. Plus im at the point where i need to insure and register it as operational. I'll take pics this weekend of the progress and the air cleaner I received. I might need a word of advice on it's place ment

I was calling the parts links today looking for an Air cleaner asembly. I am unfortunatly missing all of it. When i spoke to them they asked, if it was an oil bath or dry?
I have been assuming i was looking for an oil bath. That is what the owners manuel here describes. Can someone explin if im wrong or if there are 2 options or something? If thanks. Matt 1949 deluxe 8 model 2362 288 engine 3 speed manuel w/OD

The listing on the model info page here says i should have a carter WDG 728 carb for a model 2362. What i now have currently is a WDO 644 on the 288 engine. Will this matter? Do i have the wrong carb or do i have the earlier carb choice?
I found and ordered the choke mechanism/cap for the 644, i just hope i don't need a different carb. Also i think you guys are right about the jewel light, i still need to see if i can locate it. Thanks for all the advice.
