Hello
Anyone know what the generator number is for a 1934 1102 or 1105. Are they interchangeable?
Thanks

The numbers are in the 33-36 Packard parts book (which, if you don't have, you should if you're serious about maintaining this car) and also in Chiltons, Motors, and many other sources. But remember there was a running change in 1934 from the black to the red label Dyneto generator for higher capacity, reflecting the increasing use of radio equipment and this change isn't always reflected in secondary information sources.

1934 and 1935, all Eights and Super Eights; CO-1177 (early 11th series) and CO-1240 (high output).

and if you need one, Flackmaster's treasure chest of unobtainium is open.

Here's the notification from the 1934 Service Letters of the generator upgrade.

Outstanding, yes I am going to get the book.
Thank you again.
Roberto

Do you have contact info on Flackmaster's treasure chest of unobtainium is open?

I am just a parts resource, yes, I have correct '34 generator available, no idea of condition, nice used (not field car rusted mousehouse) condition.
If you have a generator question, or want to have your generator serviced, THE Owen-Dyneto guy is Jason Smith, AER electrical rebuilders 866 in Michigan 228 he's about 0218 the only guy left that knows what he's doing with these old units. He's not cheap, but the quality is worth the wait. If you need to borrow a generator while he does one up for you, I may even be able to arrange a loaner generator, I have one that I know is good (later unit CO-1300), if you use Jason.

Let us know how to keep the car on the road!
I am David 214 Flack 373 in Dallas 7155, flackmaster at sbcglobal point net.

OH, and if you do not have a parts book, yes, best to have one. I have an extra of the reprint, $25 plus shipping, thats half the new price.

Hello David,
Yes I would be interested in the book you have. Do you have a core generator for my 1934 Packard eight?
Thank you Roberto

Yes. As photo'd CO-1177 1934 Generator. No history other than its never been used to secure the boat in place. Well, maybe a wheel chock...but just once in the church parking lot.

And now I know how Mal feels - I was putting a front collar on and where did the nut fall, probably couldn't do it if I tried 100 times...right in the vent hole...does it want to fall back out...noooo.....price? Hmm..well, my pricing scheme requires $434.08. Most people would have guessed that...and check the serial number - I could not have made up a better number if I tried!
