How about a GOOD V8 oil pump or maybe even a completed olds pump conversion adapter????? Maybe a 1965 Packard V12?????/ Go for a 1/5th of Glenlivet or Smirnoff 100.

KevinAZ's 352 from his 400 is now in Las Vegas at Paul's getting ready for the Olds HD oil pump conversion among other things. I'll keep you guys informed.

Glenlivet would be my choice! <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

My lady friend out in Orange County says Glen Fidditch (sp) - that makes her smile <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />. The many die-cast models are a good gift. I gave myself a set of Metrinch tools because I can use them on inch or metric nuts and bolts.

I think that has to do with how many times the original has been copied and re-copied... and that would probably apply to both people and videos!

I'll put in a plug for the Kimes book--what a lot of stuff in one place! He'll need the whiskey too, or maybe a stimulant like espresso, for a motivator. I don't know if the book is available new, and it's likely to be quite expensive in any case--but if he likes to read Packard history and cost is not object... Wait, if cost is no object, how about a nice restored Caribbean?

P.S. A few are available at Amazon.com starting at $110. The complete title is Packard: A History of the Motorcar and Company (An Automobile Quarterly library series book) by Beverly R. Kimes.

Thanks guys for your help. Clipper 47 are things a little cold in Ontario that you want a bottle of Bushmills !! and as for Mr Berger I'm sure you can think of something besides a bottle of whisky to bring a simle to your lady friends face. (not the metrinch tools either)

Liam, I've always heard that good Whiskey Allways came First, with the Irish. <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Is that Not True? <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
