Hello: I have a 1938 packard 8. I recently tested the coil and the spark was quite yellow and very week. This has led me to believe that my coil has gone bad. A company called speedway has a 6 volt coil made by pertronics. speedway states that the coil can be used on a 6 volt points system, However pertronics says no. Does any one know for sure? the 6 volt coil is a 0.6 ohm resistance producing 45000 volts. Will this work in my 38 with out further modifications? thank to all responders. mitch

Can anyone tell me if the vacuum line to the wiper motor is hooked up under the manifold just under the carburetor. If not can anyone tell me what this line is and what fuction it playes. thanks to all responders. This is for a 1938 packard 8. Sorry for being unclear.

I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone for their help with my 1938 aka clara. Her breaks now work thanks again

thanks a lot I know what grease fittings look like so I should have no trouble finding them. thanks again

thanks for the information, However I am so new to this I am not sure which screws are the bleeder screws. I have looked at the shop manual and there are no clear lables. Thanks for all your help. mitch

I have installed a new master cylinder on my 1938 packard 8. Does anyone know if there are bleeder valves (ports) at the wheel or do I break the break lines to bleed the air out. I have done a bench bleed on the master before installing. I am new to this so any information would be helpful. thanks
