Thanks for the GREAT PICTURES can't wait to see when the Panther takes "BEST OF SHOW" "Ask a man who owns one and he will take 1st place"

Brain, I remember that article we as Packard owners are always going to have put up with the "Big 3 mindset" in the old car hobby that the reason the indepedents went out business was they all made an inferior product not that lack of sales was the main reason, BTW my freind who is a do or die Ford man loves the way my Packard rides and handles and he honestly admits that the 56 Lincon had more Quality control problems than Packard ask any person that really knows there fords and they all will tell you that the 56 Lincon is one car that you might want to avoid because of just transmission problems alone!! lack of knoledge is a terible thing especilly in the Auto business even today!!!

Brain, when I use to work on heavy duty equipment like tractors and a few bulldozers we would bring them in and use a number of difrent degreasers to remove the crud and grease but the key was HOT WATER the hotter the better!! even right out of hose it worked great even with out using a pressure washer with a pressure washer you really can't cocentrate on one a small spot and with a steam cleaner you can't see what your doing, even great to desluge engines for rebuilding . BTW when is perrysburg?? <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Is there an interchange for my fuel filter p/n 6484042 ?? The application is for my 56 Clipper. Has this already been posted?? Spring has sprung and I can hear the sweet sound of Packard V8'S as they come to life from a well rested winter sleep. Joe
