    A 1934-Style Packard Motor Car Will Soon Be Rolling Off A Production Line In Ohio Again

    This has been done before. The exterior photos look good but the interior is terrible. This is what a 34 Packard interior really looked like:

    Holy Roof Rust, Batman!

    Sorry for your pain, vinyl tops were one of the dumbest options ever offered. Have you removed the window trim yet? Doing that may solidify the choice of repairs, I have a hunch it will be worse underneath.

    Leaf Springs - Would you do it yourself?

    I agree. Before you do anything else, measure the front end height using the directions and dimensions from your FSM. If it is too high it will cause many handling issues, I know this from personal experience on my wagon.

    Opinions on converting from R12 to R134?

    If you are going to the work of swapping to a new compressor, go all the way and include a new style condenser, expansion valve and definitely a receiver dryer plus whatever lines are needed to connect it all. You will wind up with a more efficient and effective system.

    Speedo screaming like a siren as speed increases??

    I don't think you can remove the cable from the bottom, I could not on my 66.

    Speedo screaming like a siren as speed increases??

    With my 66 I was able to remove the speedometer cluster separately, easy to unhook the cable from the access panel under the column.

    Speedo screaming like a siren as speed increases??

    Totally agree. I used AGS Kable-Ease lube, bought at O'Reilly's. Remove the speedometer, pull the cable out of the housing. If not damaged, lube freely and reinstall.

    Transmission not shifting properly

    x2 on linkage adjustment. A simple job but do all the FSM steps in order to verify full carb opening, etc. When I first got my car it would not downshift, did the adjustment and it worked perfectly.

    1965 Chrylser - Front Suspension Work

    When you are all finished installing the new parts be sure you adjust the ride height as stated in the FSM, before you have it aligned.

    Sway bar bushing help

    Went back and checked, all the new bushings were Moog, sorry no numbers or photos.

    Sway bar bushing help

    You need all three of these bushings / pads on each side. Pretty sure I bought them all at RockAuto 4 or 5 years ago.
