Fixed today.

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:

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.

Following, nice project.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

Looks nice, fair price - wonder if the A/C works...

As long as you set the height to factory specs

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.

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

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

If you have a 383 or 440 this is what I used from Bouchillon.

I am in the convert to 134 camp but IMO if you want it to really work well you need to go beyond a simple conversion. I did this successfully on my 66 Monaco wagon with Dual Air but I replaced the compressor, condenser, and most underhood lines. I was also very lucky that both of the original...

I want that car badly.

KYB's are the best IMO. Front installation is tricky because they have to be compressed which is not easy. I paid to have it done but did the rears myself, they are simple.

Following, nice car!
