A buddy of mine just picked up a 1953 Packard with straight 8. The car has sat for awhile, but as all car salesmen say, it ran when parked. I told him to squirt in some WD40 in the cylinders, and give it a go. Now he tells me that he cant figure out how to engage the starter. It has a soliniod type starter, but the key isnt activating it. Dos this car has a button start? I have heard of a car that the key was turned on, and the motor would start by pushing the gas pedal, is that true? What type of hop up parts are around for this motor? Is it worth hop-up parts?
