Yep. Fuck DST - it saves nothing. Shoulda been metric, but if you own old cars, you still need SAE wrenches/spanners an' sich. That's just how it is.


So, when Packard was building Merlin engines, I wonder if they used metric fasteners or SAE? Not really wonder wonder, but it popped up in my brain.


Made a casserole It's cooling.

Rolls Royce design, and Packard built them under license. Henry Ford wanted a shot at that and pissed RR off. Packard also made PT boat engines. Dual overhead cam V-12s. Boats got three each.


What I have always wondered is, Packard made those high-tech engines all war and came back out in late 1945 with . . . flatheads. Seems to me that they should a could a had an OHV V-8 ready by 1948, 1949 at the latest. But noooooooooooooooooo. Ten years later, the doors were locked and the name was defunct.
 
I did something I almost never do.

I took a nap. I got so tired for some reason driving to my moms. And again driving back home.

Got back around 530 and took a nap. Only slept for abt 40 mins but it was heavenly. Just the nicest nap.

Then a walk in the twilight.

Nothing sexy for dinner. Leftovers.

This pic does not do the naked wye justice but the whole road was super yellow orange.

But everyone was doing flatheads back then. Ford flatheads were THE hotrod and racing engine post war.

I am guessing the same for packard and Chevy.
