scott12180 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Has anyone here bought a new Detroit Lubricator from packardcarbs.com, the fellow who makes these updraft carburetors in Post Falls, Idaho? I'm wondering if you were pleased, did the carburetor perform well right out of the box or did you need to do a lot of adjustment. . . . Does it make your car run great? I'm more interested in a well running engine than a showpiece, but it would be nice to have the correct carburetor for my 902. Thanks for your comments. Feel free to send me a private message if you'd rather. --Scott dwyer12180@gmail.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidMc Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 A friend bought one and fitted it to his 640, without touching the adjustments, as instructed, and he was more than happy, he said the Packard had never ran and idled so well. The workmanship and finish is superb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozstatman Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 David beat me to it! Even "down under" the re-pro carb proved its worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edinmass Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 (edited) I have one of Davids carburators on our 1932 904. It works great. I recommend them to anyone. He is a true craftsman.

Marty Roth Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 I've had David's reproduction/improved Float, Needle, and Seat for my 733's for maybe 10 years - Excellent !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
