I seem to be missing the part that keeps the shifter from rotating in the socket. I suspect it looks like a washer with a locating slot on one side and a locating tab on the other side however I don't remember seeing it when I took the shifter apart two years ago. Do any of you have an extra one of these or could you possibly measure the one in your car so I can reproduce it? Below are pictures of the parts that I do have but note that something is missing.
Thanks In advance
Todd

Todd,

You are looking for the shifter locating ring, pictured below. Measurements on mine are:

Thickness: 0.16
OD: 2.12
ID : 1.56
Gap width: 0.22

The tab on mine, as you can see, is very worn. It should just fit into the slot on the shifter.

You may want to give John Ulrich a call and see if he has one.

Cheers,

Tom

Thanks Tom, that looks like it would do the trick. I've already sent John an e-mail but he hasn't gotten back to me yet.

I wonder if Bruce makes any?

It's not on his website but I'll ask him.

I wonder if this one has it,

Or if Paul can help you

I got hold of John Ulrich and he didn't have one and I also got hold of Bruce Blevins and although he was unable to supply me with the part he was able to supply me a copy of the original Packard blueprint from 1928. How cool is that?
I have asked his permission to share the drawing with you guys and if he says OK I will post here later.

Not only does Bruce have the drawing, he says this:

The Packard Motor Car Foundation is in possession of between 35,000 and 40,000 Packard blueprints. These were donated to the foundation by two individual groups. The oldest I have found is 1900 and the newest is 1957. I think I have a catalog of all the prints to make a Model F Packard from 1903 amongst them. We do not have all of the prints, but we have a lot.

Here is an example:

That is great that the blueprints are there.

Couple of observations, does it say cyanide added 2-25-31, and was it made out of s-steel (stainless?)?

You might want to read this post which announced the availability of blue print copies. It's reasonably fresh news.
