Packard Forum Index » Pre-War (1899-1942)

I have a whole bunch of Packard spare parts. Three or four complete distributors, caps, wires, I have two transmission mounted air compressors, one that i know doesn't work (of course it's the one ON the car), two carburetors, a pair of window wings that don't go to our car, and a host of other items, including a spare engine and transmission. I am not going to sell the engine.

I figure these things fit into one of three categories:

Stuff I will never need, but nice to have
Stuff I will never need unless I sell it and then ten minutes later I will need it and have to pay 10X what I sold it for (the engine fits into this category)
Stuff that I don't have a clue what it goes to or why we even have it, but I will need it only after I sell it..

Can someone give me a base value on some of these items? I am not looking to make a mint but I am unemployed at the moment and would like to be able to (now that I have all this free time)use any money earned from selling spares to do some needed work our 29 645, including fixing two broken exhaust studs and getting a small manifold crack repaired.

I really do appreciate any positive input from the more learned among us.

Paul, what Packards do your parts fit?

(o}I{o)

Most are for our 1929 645 Custom 8. I have found a few bits for a 36 Super 8...

Among the many parts:. The two on the bottom are Mallory units, and one the the upper is a Pierce Arrow and that will stay here. The peanut butter jar is packed full of what appear to be brand new point sets. The distributor with the wire harness tube will be staying here as well.

I am interested in one of the Owens distributors, cap and points. I have a 32-900

and I may be interested in upper right Delco(?) unit. Please send detail photo or numbers and ransom demand. Thank you. DF

G'day jim 32-900,
See you've been a PackardInfo member for a while, but first post so

And I invite you to include your '32 900 in the Packard Owners Registry here on PackardInfo.

I thought that distributor was for the Pierce but it is not.
Delco # 668C. Complete, shaft rotates, and the timing advance collar is free. Cap is dusty on the outside from sitting many years but the inside looks non or very little use. Copper is very clean, no wear marks that I can see at all.

The tags says "North East Electrical" #5010896 serial #131

Complete and rotates just fine. Needs a good cleaning.

That is the wrong distributor for a 900. Will fit 7th and 8th series eights.
