Thank you for your reply, James. It seems he has been down that road & says that the welder is not confident of real success, I don't know why since I have seen castings welded successfully also, as you have. Regards, Jeff Black.

Hello, does anyone know if new cylinder heads for the above engine are still available. I know that new aluminium heads were made years ago in the USA for these cars, a friend here in Australia needs a head for his '34 Packard super8. Any help would be appreciated thanks. Regards, Jeff Black.

Hi, I would like to have Dan Sommer's contact details also. I am needing a Packard donut radiator cap. Thanks, Jeff Black.

Mark, it looks as though the safe finish will be crinkle black. Jeff Black.

Well Graham, I must say it did not occur to me to not refit the unit, & I know to put a valve in the line, very hot otherwise! Jeff Black.

It is amazing what gems of information do come to light sometimes, I do have a set of Tripp-Lites for my Packard. Regards, Jeff Black.

Yes Frank, I was surprised to see that they are still in business, must be very successful business. Regards, Jeff Black.

Yes sir, I think the heater was fitted to the new car, if it is a '33, for instance, the unit could still be new on the store's shelf in '34. I am not seeing anything on this site that makes me think it is incorrect for a '34 car. Regards, Jeff Black.

Yes Graham the photo you submitted is my unit, thanks. Jeff Black.

Thanks for your reply Graham, much information, it does look like wrinkle black will be the finish I will use. Regards, Jeff Black.

Yes, that's it, it is being restored with the rest of the car. Regards, Jeff Black

Hi, I am restoring a '34 Packard super 8 coupe with a rumble seat. The cab is fitted with a Arvin hot water heater, can anyone tell me what the outside finish of this heater should be, please? I guess it would be either a gloss black, or very possible it was a black wrinkle finish. Does anyone know? Thanks. Regards, Jeff Black.

Hello, I am restoring a '34 Packard super8 & I have just taken my starter & generator to be rebuilt & converted to 12v. The units are Dyneto, are there any suppliers of parts for these items, or can anyone please tell me what other restorers do about a rebuild for these? I can see there are plenty of these cars restored in the USA, so there is some way around the problems it seems. I am in Australia. Regards,Jeff Black.

Hi, I am working on the hinges for my '34 Packard super 8 rumble seat coupe.I have noticed that pin sets are available for lots of car doors, especially '30s Fords. The pin size is 11/32" x 2, 5/16", does anyone know if there is a pin set made for the Packard, or know if one for another car is correct? Thank's. Regards, Jeff Black

Help! I have a '29 Blackhawk by Stutz, with the 4litre,six cylinder ohc engine.I have fitted it with a new old stock Stromberg UUR-2 carburator. I am finding that the cylinders 3& 4 are carboning the spark plugs in a very short time,with resulting bad running. Is there anyone out there running a Blackhawk on the Stromberg UUR-2, who can tell me what jets etc are needed for good running ? Thank you. Regards,Jeff Black.
