I've got a tube in my toolbox (or had, haven't seen it in a while. haven't looked either), which I went to some trouble to find, eventually getting it from a dealer parts department (I forget which brand of car, but it was in their catalog, and in stock). I got it to deal with carb adjustment screws on a packard that wouldn't stay put. Nothing to put load on the threads meant they vibrated out of adjustment. I'm curious about the Packard. Which one? Our metro area is the original home of Packard, and is the site of the National Packard Museum. https://packardmuseum.org/ex1.aspx My friends and I will again be making our annual trip to their Antique Motorcycle exhibit. http://www.packardmuseum.org/MotorcycleExhibit.aspx Their web page for that exhibit is out of date. This year, 2019, the focus is on racing motorcycles. Tom really would find it interesting, I'm sure. -- - Frank Krygowski |

Something from the early 50s, any way. Ah, they had one of those long, long convertibles the last time I visited. It's probably part of their permanent collection. It's the kind of car that would use two VW Beetles as tugboats to help maneuver it into a parking space. -- - Frank Krygowski |
