I've seen some nice charts and such for engine reference information and other specs. This info is on this site and I cannot find it. Where is it hidden?

You might be thinking of the new car as released information that was published in the prewar Service Letters and postwar Service Counselors. The category is entitled Mechanical Specifications and Adjustments and the pertinent issue is usually in a late in the year timeframe around the time cars were introduced to the public. You can go to the service index from the left menu and click on the various year specifications category to bring up the proper issues. The charts are under new model information. Here is an example of how to find the 48-50 offerings.




If the chart you are thinking of is different then what is in the letters and counselors there were some training manuals that had a bit of single subject information such as carb settings or ign timing in chart form and you will need to find those in the literature archive under Service, Shop, and Training Manuals.

Model Information at left?

Looking for the compression chart......

Is this it?packardinfo.com/xoops/html/downloads/Packard%20Heads%20Compression%20Ratios.pdf

Is that added to the Lit Archive yet?

Yes, -> this way please, under the "Misc Packard Information" category. From there, scroll down to about the middle of the list.
