I thought that 1936 was the last year for the availability of artillery wheels, or is that for the senior line?

I have no idea on the wheels.

also apparently have no idea about heads either. went to drill the holes for the oil filter, etc. drilled right through the head, I guess I assumed incorrectly that these holes were drilled and not cast in the original head I have.

the numbers on the heads do not match anything in the book and I guess are casting numbers. I don't see part numbers on them anywhere.

the new head is a 1939 std. the old I'm assuming a 37 HC.

holes can be filed, but I can't use the head if I can't mount my coil and my oil filter to the side of it.

the 36 head that the spark plug holes screwed up on....it has the same drilled holes in it already for the oil filter. the hole for the coil is not drilled and I'm assuming someone did that to my original head at some point.

these holes are for an early head design?

btw...what's my batting average now? am I over 1000?

I don't know much about the prewar years but wonder if some of them used a bracket which went under a head bolt for the items you are trying to mount. That is what some postwar does for the horn bracket and the insulator block or support for the plug wires..

If you need to use that particular head, maybe you could make a bracket or get a bracket from a later year and use that. Not sure about the oil filter although an L shaped bracket over the side should be doable and if painted engine color not too obvious once the filter is mounted.

There is n o hole in the side of the head for the coil, the correct coil has a bracket welded to it with a large hole.
It goes under a head nut, any photo of a 120 engine compartment will show that and I believe the p[arts book shows it also.

To answer BDC's question back in post #651, yes 1936 was the last year for artillery wheels on senior cars, and these were wooden spoke artillery wheels. But for a couple of years the juniors offered a pressed steel pseudo-artillery wheel, fairly uncommon. Photo below.

Henry, yes the #s on the cylinder heads are casting numbers, not part numbers.

The all steel "artillery " wheels were an accessory on all junior cars to 1940 see parts book. On senior cars they were available on 37-39 Super 8's, see parts book

I appreciate the correction, Fred. I don't believe I have ever seen a stamped steel artillery-type wheel on a senior Packard. I guess I should have consulted the parts book before responding.
