I have this box of 10 water pump bearings that someone could probably use, but I have NO idea of the age. Hopefully someone has a parts book to identify by part #GM 337034. thanks for looking.... Bob

Thanks for the prompt response. I know zilch about fuel injection....but suspect the injectors are much more sensitive to the quality of the fuel. If you just siphon MOST of the gas out, wont the remaining fuel have heavy varnishes that will evenually find their way to the injectors and bogg down? and are there possibly residues on the sides/bottom of the tank that will flake off? I have an '86 shop manual from my previous Lincoln and there is a paragraph about cutting the steel line along the frame and later joining it with flexible fuel line. It doesn't mention HOW to cut the steel line without causing a spark and 'ruinig your day'?!?! I do have an inline bulb pump for starting the flow of a siphon. Bob

My Lincoln has been on blocks for 8 years. It has the fuel injected engine and a tank of old gas, which I assume would screw up the injectors. 1. Yes, I could drop the tank., but hope there is an easier solution. 2. Does anyone know if there is a connection in the fuel line somewhere along the frame, which disconnected, would siphon most of the gas out? Any creative idea would be appreciated...... Thanks for looking... Bob

Thanks for the clarification. will repost. Bob

This Carter carb was actually installed on our 1937 Packard Super Eight when I bought the car. I drove the car for a year before I found the correct Stromberg EE-23. The carb has been sitting on my self since then. Not sure what make and model it was intended for. Asking $150 + shipping. ThePackardMan@gmail.com

Many thanks for the prompt response... I appreciate it !!!! Bob

This is obviously a sedan body from the mid 30s..... Not much to go on except the shape of the instrument cluster and maybe the shape of the windshield. Any clues would be appreciated..... Thanks for looking. Bob

This unique vehicle was reportedly fabricated for the movie Chicago, then morphed to be a WW I ambulance with 1912 Cadillac headlights, Model T fenders and windshield. the chassis is 1930 Chevy. It has been converted to 12v. Original engine runs...have driven it on local street, but needs the front end and brakes to be roadworthy. Lots of details and pictures can be seen at Office Sales Asking $6,000 OBO. Bob and Gail Supina 281-239-8583 ThePackardMan@gmail.com

We have a Third Series Packard Six Sedan and the babbit is getting very thin on the rod bearings. Does anyone out there know of a modern replacement for these bearings, or do I have to have new babbit poured? Any hints would be appreciated......

Consider this real eye-catcher! A 1930 Chevy that was (reportedly) fabricated to be a Paddy Wagon for the movie 'Chicago' by a Canadian company. It was then morphed into a WW I ambulance with Model T fenders and windshield...AND....1912, 1913 Cadillac headlights. Lots of pics and details at Office Sales. Looking for serious offer. Bob Supina, ThePackardman@gmail.com, 1-281-239-8583 Yes, Bugsy goes with Mariah...along with his ball and chain...

Thanks for all the input. Would anyone be willing to post a reasonable value that I should expect to get for the item? Bob

I think it is just in the paint. there is no evidence of bumps on the underside.

Many thanks for the responses. I am attaching another picture because I am very puzzled about the surface. It is pock marked like the surface of the moon...or like it went through a hail storm. Was that the normal finish? It appears that the part is aluminum....or could it really be fiberglass????that suffered some shrinkage?????

I have this spring loaded gas cap cover, which has the flags, which I believe are characteristic of the Corvette. I have no books to trace the numbers, so I hope someone will be able to tell me what year(s) this cover was applicable. The frame has a casting number 40101 and the cover has two numbers, 40105 and 3977828 Any help with date/value would be appreciated. Thanks for looking Bob

I have two pieces of this stainless and I would appreciate help in identifying it. There are 10 holes in the pattern....1...3...2...3...1 Both ends are closed and the piece is 54" long and 1" wide. Any leads would be appreciated..... Bob

Thanks for the pointer.... Ijust checked my 'Standard Catalog..." and see that it is a '36 Terraplane. Again...many thanks.

Last week I saw this car along US 285 northwest of Ft. Worth... Certainly someone can tell me what it is......

I have called the number and spoke with a customer service person who said he would look for the page and fax it to me, but I have not heard back from him. any other sources would be appreciated. Thanks.

I have accessed the site, but they do not list some of the colors for the 1937 Packard Super Eight and Twelve. Perhaps some Ditzler names are just different than the Duco names. I could not read the formulas, so will have to call the listed number for clarification. Thanks for the link

Does anyone know of a source for correlating 1937 paint codes to any of today's manufacturer codes??? For example: ferrite yellow.........246-064 White...................246-091 black....................246-020 Prussian blue..........246-052 of course we all know there are 30 shades of white and 30 shades of black. Any help would be appreciated. I know I can take paint chips and have them scanned, but chips age and colors deteriorate.

Thanks for your input... bob

...but what car/truck used the Graef und Stift mascot????

Not sure where I acquired this photograph, but possibly from a friend in Scotland. Can anyone identify it by the mascot or emblem on the front of the radiator? I can't even tell if it was built as a truck, or is a modified automobile... ....anyway...it's neat and deserves to be identified. Thanks for looking... Bob
