Packard Forum Index » Modification Discussion

Hello, I just purchased a 1930 726 sedan. I'd like to know if there are any mods that can be made to the original engine, hot rodding for lack of a better term I guess. the original vacuum system is long gone, and rather than track down original pieces I'd like to know if anyones had any success changing the fuel/exhaust set up.

The less you change on a 1930 Packard, the better. I would want to use the right parts, if at all possible.

If it is in halfway decent condition it will make it very difficult to offload if you don't keep it authentic. Also why you would want to hot-rod a 90 HP engine is beyond me.

I don't think it will be too bad to find the missing parts if you talk to the right vendors. Or substitute something reasonable with some guidance from the experts here.
