Packard Forum Index » Packard Parts & Misc - For Sale, Wanted, Trade

Hi everyone, I'm writing from Poland, I'm finishing restoring a 53 Mayfair hard top, I'm looking for a used carburator for parts, mine is missing the metering rood and other details, thanks to anyone who can help me.

G'day chevyboy. not a name I'd expect to see on a Site dedicated to Packards.
irrespctive of that, to PackardInfo, but sorry I can't assist with your request.

However, I invite you to include your '53 Mayfair in PackardInfo's Packard Vehicle Registry.

I think you're our first Polish Forum Member.

Which carb do you have? There should be a number on the little brass triangle tag on the carb.

If you need a rebuild kit as well as the parts, call the Carburetor Shop. They have tons of stuff and can help you identify your carb.

What are the numbers on the metering rods?

i dont know... is missed..

I'll get the exploded diagram, post, and you can mark it up what you need, and I'll see if I have any. I'm about to get busy right now.

Those are the patent numbers and are meaningless for identification.

Look at the file "carter AFB#s" below showing location of where the model numbers should be on your carb. Either on a tag which could be missing or stamped on the base.

Exactly what is your car's year, model, engine, and is it original or has it been modified or parts changed? (Aids looking part numbers up.) I think you said '53. Those are early units and low production.
The exploded diagram is probably not exact for what you have but the internal AFB parts don't change.
Indicate which ones are missing by number. If you don't know you might have to disassemble and check for them.
If I don't have, I can tell you who may have them. Edelbrock is still making some of these in larger sizes. Many old carb suppliers in US. '53 era would be small bore.

ps: I couldn't find my P carb list file but I think I posted on here. I show from interchange for '53 #s- 784S, 928S, 985, 2084, 2103, 2142, 5400-5401. They have S at end of the number if I didn't. They're just later versions of the same thing. They were improving these yearly or faster back then so lots of # changes.
Looks like someone blasted that piece pretty heavy and could have particulates inside.
