WHEEL CYLINDERS: front left 33220, front right 33221, rear left 33004, rear right 33005. They are all 8.99 except the rear left. Which for some reason is 9.99.

Packard V8 hydraulic valve lifters:<BR>Melling JB 879 or SealedPower HT 879.<P>DO NOT USE THE 2011 LIFTER !!!!!!!!<P>I have the JB879 installed in my 56 Executive.<BR>When i pulled it apart there were 2 replacement types in there that i have reasons to believe came from one of the major suppliers. The 879 lifters are identicle to the 2 replacements i found in the engine EXCEPT for the shape of the pushrod seat. The 879 has a pushrod seat identicle to the factory lifters that was in the car.<P>The 879 lifters seem to have a very faint high speed bleed down problem at a bout 2700 rpm. BUT, then again, so did the lifters i removed from the car.

56 Senior drums are different than 53-55. 56 uses nuts because of the rearend change. Earlier uses studs.<BR>YFAM, Randy Berger

RO: Since 1955s were supposed to be POS ground and you posted VRs for NEG ground and stated that yours are NEG ground, did you convert from POS to NEG (like I did on my 55 Pat) or were they NEG ground from the beginning? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/icons/confused.gif" alt="" />

If this question starts another series of Q&As would the responder please start another thread rather than cluttering up the Xref thread with debate? All I'm looking for is clarification. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif" alt="" />

timing chain info:

LEMPCO TC346 64 LINK TIMING CHAIN 55/56 PACKARD V8

S267 48 TEETH CAM GEAR 55/56 PACKARD V8

S268 24 TEETH CRANK GEAR 55/56 PACKARD V8.

Carquest autoparts also carries the same numeric part number for the chain. I bought one about 9 months ago and it works just fine. About $32. Which is about 1/2 price of specialty suppliers.

Dave, it's just the standard rope seal. BEST gaskets have a neoprene replacement, but it's a foreign part number <img src="/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif" alt="" /> that I've yet to identify.

Hey guys:

I don't know if this is an earth shattering revalatin, but if you are ever in need of a 55 v-8 fuel-pump gasket, one from a Mopar slant-6 is a dead on match.

Note of Caution: Yesterday, i bought from radio shack a small packet of 'Standoffs' to make a dash bezel removing tool. As it turns out the hex part of the standoff is only slightly bigger than 3/16 inch where as the bezel requires 1/4 inch.

PackardV8, I got a 1/4 inch light aluminum (or some other alloy metal) standoff from a friend that assembles top-secret computers for the government (no lie). He drilled it out and it worked perfectly. If you can't get your hands on a 1/4 inch one, let me know and I can get you one from him, already drilled.

V8 ignition Coil:

Standard UC12X I used on the '55 Patrician and I believe that cross references to NAPA Echlin IC17 which I believe I have on my '55 Clipper Super. Note the external resistors are different for the two cars.

Ever so often we should probably add something or try and refresh the Cross Reference Index so it will stay visible on the first page. Some folks new to the site may not look beyond the first page. With those A/A #s for wheel cylinders, perhaps someone has a NAPA or CarQuest cross reference to add.
