Electric pump on mine has a filter before the electric pump, all metal so not real obvious that it is a filter, maybe a place to start looking. Funny tale, years ago drove a company box truck from Savannah to Jacksonville to pick up some newspaper racks, it would cut off and then after a rest run again. Mechanic said there was a potato chip bag in the fuel tank. Enjoy your Packard.

HPH, all I got to say is 25 sure sounds like a nice age.
I got my introduction to Packard when the folks purchased a 23rd Series in the summer of 1949, I would have been 6, this became my car in 1960 [high school] and much of my hands on Packard knowledge comes from that time. After a time, the Packard got traded on a Triumph TR3 which didn't stay with me too long before being replaced by another Packard and a girl who has kept me around all these years. Still a couple of Packard's in the carport, but not much energy to devote to them these days. Jim, in Boone, NC

Reminds me of the opposite experience. Many years ago, I did some handyman work for a lady I knew from church. She wanted to sell her mid 70's Chevelle, so we agreed to trade, it was a very plain vehicle, six cylinders, stick on column. I never drove the car until the deal was done and I drove it home. Very peppy for a six it seemed, turned out to be a large V8.

Growing up, I can remember dad going to the garage to run the engine a while to warm it up and then covering the hood with a blanket in hopes of improving the chance of a start in the morning.

Previously experienced the problem described. I put the flex straw from a can of PB Blaster in that hole Howard describes and gave it a generous shot, it seemed to help at that time.

In youthful days seems like there was a "scrapyard" in town with an old timey steam shovel, their scrap consisted of bits and pieces of metal.
Then there were "junkyards" or auto "graveyards" where a kid like me could purchase parts. Times were different and as a kid I was allowed to wander the yard and pull parts. Probably others, but radio, heater, and an electric clutch that I removed from wrecks and installed on dad's Packard. By removing I learned how to install and make it work again.

Dirk, I don't have your answers, but following with interest.
Long ago in high school 23rd series with overdrive, somewhat familiar with its use. Presently have a 40 110 and wondered the same about adding overdrive. Good luck with your project.

>>> but believe it is a 1948 Series 22 produced in 1949.
Oval taillights, wouldn't this make it a 23rd Series? Later 49/50? Maybe just a typo in the post but might make a difference when searching for parts.
