Packard Forum Index » V-8 (1955-56)

I was intrigued by that top-down view of the FI system from the very day that I picked up that copy of SIA #36 at the local newstand, back in 1976.

Having found little else published on that system in the years since, I was really excited to find, back in 2002-2003, that the system still survived and to learn some of the background from Roscoe.

I wasn't sure what his plans were at the time, but I'm glad to see that the real system has been put back to working condition on a Packard - preserving a significant piece of automotive R&D history.

Not necessarily, I've seen a lot of "cobbled up" looking stuff come out of garages all over the world, and some that look completely factory designed. I stick by my statement that this LOOKS like a home made affair. I never said it WAS, just that it LOOKS like it. And thus, I based my opinion on what I've seen between the pics shown here.

Yes, thank you very much for coming on here and answering our questions.

As for my doubts, you have to understand that I'm looking at a picture that someone else took, and not the best picture of the detail at that. Thus, going by what I seen, it looked like something that someone built in their garage. (Like I'm doing, actually)

One thing though, at least I correctly identified it as a Bosch fuel injection, not bad for someone who's never seen any Packard fuel injection setups, but has seen MANY factory setups from that era.

G'day Roscoe,
to PackardInfo, as these are your fist posts, although I see you've been a member of PackardInfo for quite some time.

And a request please, could you include your '56 Executive in the Packard Owner's Registry, together with a pic, any known history and how you acquired it?

Roscoe was kind enough to provide some documentation for the Packard Fuel Injection R/D project. You can find it here:
