Packard Forum Index » Post-War (1946-54)

Hi, I got my used manifolds shipped to me today.Thought I share a few pic's with you. I very pleased with them. No major pitting and still very smooth. They came with the carb still attached, even the oven box flapper moves freely. These are off a 1952, 327 engine. For my 23rd series, Super 8, with a 327 engine. I see there is a large vacuum port I'll need to plug. I'll try to send some pictures

You might consider having them cleaned and ceramic coated before you return to service. They'll last almost indefinitely that way. Also reduces some of the engine compartment heat as it helps it go outside instead of radiating in the engine compartment. They coat inside and out. Not that expensive either, under $200 / pair locally here(SC?NC) They have a grey cast finish available that's pretty close to normal/rust free. Not for the "purists".
