In the link you have does the rear window and soft top come together or do I have to buy separate?

INSTEAD OF THE GREY ANTI SIEZE YOU SHJOULD USE THE COPPER ONE THEY MAKLE ON THE SPARK PLUGS AND ENGINE HARDWARE WHERE TEMPS GET HOTTEST.

The strut rod kicked my ass until I saw your video. Thanks

Where the links for the manual??

Your videos, your knowledge and your presentation are among the very best I have seen. Please do more videos on this car. Also, consider painting it the original color. I love cars from this era. I have a 1950 Buick convertible and I do all of my own mechanical work and I am learning more from you. Another thing, that device on the carburetor you were wondering about in an early video is part of the ignition/starting system. My 1950 Buick uses a similar device. This is what is activated when you start the car with the accelerator pedal. It contains components that disable voltage to the starter relay. There are 2 things that cause it to drop voltage to the solenoid. When engine vacuum reaches a certain point and when the generator starts charging. Yours works, but if it ever fails and you are out, you can simply jumper across the two connection points on the device. It is very easy to fix. Take it apart carefully and clean the copper contacts Also bend the tangs on the thin copper actuator out slightly.

We've watched about 10 different vids on Miata top replacement. This one is far and away the best. Thanks for the excellent vid.

There seems to be so sort of confusion as to the Model of this Car based on the comments. A C230 is also known as a C180 & C200 in parts of the world. It is a supercharged 1.8l Motor in the W203 Chassis. Late 2006 the Same motor (M271) was changed to a Turbo and went into some W204's. C240's & 250's were a V6 and would have two Valve covers. This particular variation does seem to be more difficult to work on than the others. Try getting to the MAF sensor. Really appreciate this video.

Well done sir,I’ve been following your tips, while I’m replacing my head gasket. Just a question, is there any place that I can get the Volvo software for free? I did a quick search but haven’t found any info about. Thanks in advance!

I can’t switch any gears park drive reverse Neutral is this a problem of a faulty wheel speed sensor

I just bought a 69 dodge dart.... was a slant 6 car..... would I be able to modify the K member the same way you did?

This Shit got me so motivated lol until I had to deal with that harmonic balancer bolt 🙃… I’m waiting on that special adapter I already got the weighted socket

Beautiful work

I'm rebuilding this engine (rings and valves) due to the issue with burning oil because of the rings. It only has 70k miles, so I wasn't going to replace stuff like the timing related bits. Now that I have it back together I noticed the timing chain gets slack between the two phasers each revolution. It makes a kind of clunking sound as the tensioner goes in and out. Is this normal? I don't have oil in it (I do have assembly lube of course) so I'm wondering if the pneumatic action in the tensioner is not in play and causing this temporarily now? I'd appreciate your opinion on it. I see there is a little slack between your cam gears also as your turn it, but not to this extent. Video showing it is here: czcams.com/users/shortsKSaunpl1B6M

You can adjust the valves, with the engine running, under the passenger side wheel well. Panels removable on the passenger side of the engine.

Packard engineering was far beyond the Profit Mongers at GM, Ford,and Dodge/Plymouth.

CZcams keeps dropping my subscription....i have to re subscribe often.

That radio is a tube radio. Needs a few minutes to warm up for playing. You can easily find a local old timer to tweak it up for perfect performance. Don't trash it. IMHO.

Can you provide that title website again? I couldn't find them. My 2005 purchase of my '48 packard was from the family of the original owner in CA. Not much of a title since he bought it new. Never changed hands. Any assistance appreciated.

As a younger gentleman I had several of these cars through the years as a matter of fact 6 😊. In 1990 my brother and I swapped a 3.8 V6 turbo into this car. Took us a year. Unfortunately it was lost to a garage 🔥.

my two cents: since so many Fiero's were converted to Ferrari replica's my ultimate Fiero would be the opposite, a car that looks 100% like a bone stock Fiero but with a atmospheric Ferrari V12

I looking forward to seeing it when it is all done, clean, and mint!

These late 40s Packards have 46 grease zerts. According to my maintenance book. I have this exact car. 327 withO.D.

My 2012 Volvo S60 T4 with the 1.6 turbo four cylinder from Ford named Sigma B4164T engine is using 1 liter of oil every 1,100 Km. Where can I source the new pistons and rings to have them replaced? I’ve performed oil and filter changes every 5,000 Km but it seems insufficient. Also, I did perform and engine flush only to engross the gross profit margin of the oil change facility!

Could of cleaned the car up.

Great video, I subscribed. Btw back in the day Packard was up there with the best of them Rolls Royce licensed them to mfg the Merlin engine in ww2

Spray weld and turn it down

I love it when I see a young guy interested in REAL cars, not just Datsuns and Toyotas.

You can not use those skinny battery cables with 6 volts. You need nice fat 1 gauge cables, not 4 or 6 gauge. Using too small a gauge will result in slow cranking, frequent no-starts. Many will tell you that it is because it is 6 volts, but that is not true. 6 volt starters draw twice the amps as 12 volt starters, so you need thicker battery cables. Yes, they cost more, and that's why they switched to 12 volts - its cheaper.

Don't forget to put bearing oil into the generator oil cups. Lots of today's guys don't know those generator lube points are there since they only deal with sealed bearing alternators. It's 1940s technology and that's the way it still is. Good luck and keep moving forward.

I have a car exactly like that one in 2004. I am over 230,5000miles in it. I just replaced 8 sensor out of 18 and im going to check on the timing belt and keep up the maintenance. Biggest one is the supercharge get it oil and clean up and maybe up grade some things for more horsepower. Thanks for the videod !!!!

I thank you for the information.🎉🎉

How about removing rear cailpers? Have a video on that? Thanks

That was the best most informative video series on rebuilding a 1.8 BP4W that I have ever seen. Very good job sir! The video was very clear and you showed the complete process from pulling the engine to putting it back in after the rebuild. I might have to do mine soon but I'm doing a piston soak first and getting some promising results. Thank you for putting this video series out there because it will definitely help me when I do mine and will help anyone else who needs to do a 1.8 Miata rebuild. I highly recommend this.

Enjoyed Every Minute Thanks

Good to see you getting that Packard back on the road. One comment: the GL-5 lube is not a good choice for those early transmissions. The additives in it are hard on the "yellow metal" (like the synchro rings), much better to use GL-1 lube.

You're one of the few guys to be working with these big, heavy tanks. Thanks for sharing. A real joy to see your progress.

Great car. Wish I had one. Great video. A lot of detailed explanation. Very helpful.

First time viewer (new subscriber)...I'm a car-less Manhattanite who loves watching old cars come back to life - really enjoy your work! BTW I'd love to see the car in blue :-)

Get some dry ice and freeze that axle end...then that bearing would drop right into place

Glad 2 see another show like cold war motors...keepin them stock...has best as you can...your a smart young man...the world HAS HOPE !

Your patience, frugality, technical skill and attention to detail is paying big dividends. All the work you've done especially to saving the original gas tank, fuel pump, brakes and rear drive train assembly proves that. Check the VIN and see what the car's factory delivered paint code is and I'd paint that color or a variation of it. "Fun" colors on a bathtub Packard IMHO look dumb. I'd also keep your eyes open to field and junkyard find Packards for extra parts. The only thing I have an issue with is the carb. If you can score a two bbl Carter then performance and driveability would increase. Just some thoughts. Great work, terrific video. Work safe and smart.

Awesome! FWIW I'd probably paint it in the original gray, but that blue is nice too..............

Did you resurface the heads or just make sure there weren’t worped?

Awesome old car👍nice to see it back on the road

Have to tell you this packard is coming along great. Your a fantastic mechanic you know your stuff... You have great voice to listen to all so! Can't wait for your next vidio! Thank You😊

so I noticed your 1.8L has a metal pcv or so-called oil separator and I can't seem to find one other than a plastic one,can you give me that part number?

I might be completely wrong concerning Packards, but weren't a lot of air filters from this era filled with motor oil that you changed when it got too much dirt in it?

The body on your Packard is in good shape too man you need to keep that car forever Cold War Motors would love it check out cold war Motors he's got a lot of cool junk Packard's citrons Chrysler cool stuff it's a great Channel

I love the Packard man underneath looks really good frame floor pans wow that thing is in good shape great car my dad's brother had a 30 Packard when I was a little kid I'm old timer I'm 70 years old when I was about 6 years he give us rides in the 30 Packard was a cool car man I don't know what happened to that but you know that goes have a great day thanks for the video I'll keep watching it's very inspiring that's a cool car any young people today don't even know the Packard isHave a great day
