Does anyone know the Packard intended location of the "custom deluxe radio" components on the firewall. I have seen the speaker mounted in the middle of the firewall (over the transmission/gearshift) and the receiver box over the steering column (which is a tight fit). But there are holes in my fire...

As a follow up to my own question, my solution: I painted my heater in the VHT black wrinkle paint several "heavy" coats and lightly baked it at 200 degrees for 30 minutes. Then I had dark brown enamel mixed to match my other components and sprayed it over the wrinkle paint in 2 light coats. The tex...

I am Installing a new wiring harness in my 1937 120C coupe convertible. I am trying to verify what is the location and route the wires take from the main harness trunk on the left side of the engine compartment to the right side of the car for the headlights and fog lights. The wiring harness I remo...

My 1937 120C 1099 should have a wrinkle paint finish on the heater, radio receiver and speaker. A few forum discussions have touched on the paint but can someone be more specific about how you get the correct finish and/or the paint to be used? I believe the color should be black. A close up picture...

I have a 1937 120 C coupe convertible and am trying to determine which radio model is appropriate for the car. I've reviewed dealer brochures, Operation Manuals and other sources but it is not clear if the one piece (combined speaker and receiver) or the two piece "Deluxe" (separate speaker and rece...

You are right the knob when turned is threaded so it will move up and down which will push or pull the cable connected to the motor as well as open the vacuum flow thru the switch. By sucking on one tube (until I was about ready to pass out) and turning the knob I could tell there was a reduction in...

OK here are reduced file size pictures of the switch (hope it works). The bracket that holds it under the dash is not shown here but it also secures the cable end..

Thanks again all. The switch is a separate mechanism with a knob you turn to pull a cable that is attached to the wiper motor slide valve. It also regulates the vacuum flow up to the motor since the vacuum line passes through the switch.. The switch is in the bottom lip of the dash and the motor is ...

Thank you for your very complete explanation. I will test the control valve under a vacuum only. I am sending the motor to Ficken but he(Rob) said they do not work on the switches. "Junk" was what I think he called them. It appears the switch is pressed together and I would likely destroy it to pull...
