I've used with complete satisfaction the Exide Classic Grp 60/64. About 2 inches shorter in length than the Group 60, otherwise comparable.

Exide 60/64 noted above has adequate hood clearance. Best replacement other than the boutique batteries that I'm aware of. Correct width.

Hello
I ended up buying a " Deka" battery they are made in USA I bought the "Deka" No. 664MF 620 CCA 11.5 x 6 3\8 x 8" Weight 41.5000 Lb Here in Cal the cost was $101.xx $15 core return I bought it at a Deka warehouse in Ontario Cal I had called a company called Battery plus bulbs who carry Duracell they would not order me a group 60 battery, even though there web page not only showed one but also priced it.. BTW Deka make some of the Duracell line of car batteries. So you can guess that I will not be shopping at or recommending "Batteries plus" to anyone. Now an another subject can anyone give me a "place" to buy intake manifold gasket for the 374. And does anyone have specific info on removing the tail light housing from the car? Even for Packard I would think it stupid to have to move the rear bumper to get the housing out. Also need lead on getting the small front fender script (the four hundred) best Dave

Apparently it can be done if the stars align but not the easiest job.https://packardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=17976&forum=3&post_id=178270& Quote: Also need lead on getting the small front fender script There are some current ebay listingshttp://www.ebay.com/itm/1955-1956-Packard-400-Script-Emblem-the-four-hundred-/112407396193?hash=item1a2c00bf61:g:GNQAAOSw03lY8USu&vxp=mtr Gerry at Packards Southwest in San Diego (packardusa) also has a few of the pieces listed on ebay individually. Mike Dulinski in Minnesota has many 55-6 Parts cars and may have the items.

Manifold gaskets: There are a number of Packard specific parts vendors around the country including Kanter.com who can supply almost all of your Packard needs.

It's funny but when I did a google search, not one specific
vendo came up. I know they are out there, but I hate pulling teeth from alligator On the subject of Rochester 4GC gasket set, I checked at least 6 vendors, Mikes, Chicago Carb, SD in Fl, Echlin (NAPA) Carburetor Factory etc: Prices from $35 to 70. Chicago and Daytona parts, use the same part number! Mikes I think from there picture is the most complete. They got a little upset when I said their kit was expensive, hahaha It's just the penny pincher in me...
