Matt....if it makes you feel any better, I'm on the fourth time with a V-16 Cadillac R&R the transmission.......don't ask. I'm gonna use wing nuts this time so number 5 removal is easier.

Rolls Royce of America had a radio installed per customer request, in 1922. It took up the entire trunk on the back of the car. The antenna had a 20 foot lead, and its own stand. It could only be used when stationary.

You really need to post photos……there were two different 360’s pre 1925 and then the later one.
Is it a small fire truck?

Usually nothing at all or felt. Some boxes have bearings and some bushings. Most have bushings and only use the fit to prevent leaks. This is why corn head grease should not be used in a box. Some seeping is normal. From your photo it looks like the box has the wrong lubricant in it. I would drain it and go to 00 fluid grease. Open the box up and put a heat lamp on it for a few days to drain it. It will take a very long time to gravity drain without heat.

I have driven a Model J Duesenberg all over London in rush hour traffic. A W O Bentley in Paris.....that was exciting! Traffic doesn't bother me........it's the people texting and talking on the phone that make me nervous.

I find bargains, too. Plus, I know for fact that if I buy a Packard part at a certain price, it MUST be worth more, because I'm cheap!!
To be fair...if you would hit the Powerball............you would still be cheap! I only say that because we have done business together! 😇

Despite Ed's best efforts in getting the value of this car down to $500, I am not at all surprised at the price this brought. As I mentioned on page one
Steering wheel/ horn button $2,000.
Instruments $2,000.
Fuel pump, $2,000.
Engine $12,000
Misc bits/pieces body parts $5,000
Again... Packard prices demand at least twice the amount of money as Pierce-Arrow parts... maybe three times the price of Lincoln parts. The buyer knows full well the value of a complete parts car. Other than missing headlight/taillight lenses, this car was more complete than many rollers I've seen.
Oh, and the piston on the front seat did not belong to this car.
I would say the prices you have are over inflated on a rusty hulk. A nice barn find probably. That said, I just bought a 34 Packard 12 clock in very nice condition for 200 bucks. Things are much softer now. The price went high as a person bought it to finish a project.....so I can understand it to a certain degree..........as far as its value as a project car....I stand by my comments. I know the new owner is here, and do not wish to offend. That's the great thing about a free and open market. I would like to see his car he bought this for.........

They fit big pre WWI cars………someone will be happy to have them.

WOW !
This guy had some cool stuff.
The cool stuff is long gone.........that family owned "The Mormon Meteor" and a bunch of other stuff. One family member has been a judge at Pebble Beach for years. I won't use names to keep peoples privacy.

Sorry I couldn't make it........family emergency that had to be attended to. Lost my plane fare as it was nonrefundable. I will be at the meeting next year. Best to all, and thank you for asking about me.

Placement is important.........I have seen several cars dead on the side of the road when a foot or pocketbook killed the power going down the road and things start to cook.........so put them in spots where they won't accidentally get bumped into the off position.

The Snow Gas engine uses much bigger valves. But then again at 1423……. liters! NOT cubic inches, it certainly needs to breathe a little bit easier. FYI- That’s 86,800 CID. It’s what we call in our shop a BFE………..figure it out! Total weight of this unit……..140 TONS……..🤔
Back when America built stuff……..and people actually worked for a living.

Same exact thing happened to a 1949 Dodge I had. It was the coil.
Says he has new coils....which means absolutely nothing. Easy way is to swap them and see if the problem moves, which I bet it will not.

I see said the blind man picking up his hammer and saw, You do said the deaf mute?; while the man with no legs got up and walked away.............

I've got $5 on the coils. Even though they're new, they aren't necessarily good. With the location of the coils on the Cadillac V12, they get really hot and that's when they fail. When they cool off, voila! They magically work again.
I give that one chance in 20.............certainly on the list, but way down.

I will send you a PM, as I have Delt with this issue multiple times......there can be several causes.......

Unless I am mistaken, it's now in Florida......or its identical twin is. I helped attach it to a 1924 Cadillac......works well.

Is it a real car, or is it floor sweepings? For some reason I can't remember.

1929-37 Duesenberg rods. Model J set of 8
in Parts For Sale
Posted
Value on the rods is directly related to the engine they came out of, or if they are unmarked they have almost no value. I have about 30 different rods with numbers on them, making some art work out of them. Neat stuff......
