Does anyone know if someone is reproducing the heat shield for the carb? My coupe has one and my Touring does not. I would like to add one.

Thanks,
Tom

You mean the little sheet metal shield that affixes to the carburetor and covers part of the inboard side and bottom of the fuel bowl? That's the only heat shield I'm aware of on those cars and as far as I know it has never been in reproduction, though it would be a very simple affair to make one, especially as you already have one for a pattern. Perhaps you might consider making a few, there may be an easy market for the extras.

I am also in need of one. Someone had once told me that one of the clubs was making them, but I have been unable to track it down. But in fairness, I haven't really looked hard.

There is a member of The Packard Club, Bruce Blevins, who has repro'd some EE-22/23 carburetor parts but he advertises as "internal parts". I'll make contact with him at Gettysburg and try to remember to ask about it. Bruce is also a source for some Bijur parts like drip plugs, and spring shackle bolts and assorted other 33/34 parts.

I just checked Bruce's latest catalog (couple weeks old). The heat shields are not mentioned.

A different option is Ted Davis Enterprises in Oklahoma City. Ask for Charlie. Charlie and Bruce make several items for the 33 and 34 packard, as well as other years.

Hi Tom, Sorry cant help with your heatshield but would very much like to know if the overheating problem has yet been solved.

I have been informed that packard's international makes these.
