Ross, received the carburetor yesterday, thank you...

Next stop is cleaning it up...

Just through something out on the registry, will update it once I have some time.

Ross, got your IM...

Thank you all for the reply's, Ross, I did PM you.

I did join in 2008 when I had some ambitions of doing the restore, we then had two more kids so that put that on hold.

I have figured out what causes the kids to come so I have told the Post Office to hold my mail to keep the mailman away from my house

I have had this 1955 400 for ~22 years, bought when I was in high school and worked on it during the summers in my college years. While I was at my final year of college, my parents got divorced and were selling the house where the Packard was parked. At this point, I had no job, no place to live and a 2 ton vehicle that wasn't running.

My girlfriends father (now my father-in-law) offered to store the Packard in a "barn on some family land" near Roanoke, VA. I took him up on the offer thinking that I would store it for 1-2 years and then get it out once I got on my feet.

1-2 years went by but other things got in my way of getting the car - marriage, 4 kids, etc. I would check on the Packard when we would visit my wife parents but didn't have the means to get it.17 years later, I pull the Packard out and bring back to Charlotte, NC where I am living.

Unfortunately while it was stored, someone stole the carburetor off the car.

So, I have two questions:
What type of carburetor did the car have - my research shows conflicting information for the Four Hundred - was either a CARTER WCFB or a ROCHESTER 4GC?
Anyone know of where I can pick one of these up or have one they would like to sell me?
