Here are some sources of KR Wilson ToolsModelTWoods wrote: ↑Mon Mar 16, 2026 2:03 pmCan anyone identify these K R Wilson tools? One is identified as a tool for setting end play on a Packard but does not specify year or engine. The other is identified as a Plug Gauge Set. Will add other pictures after I resize them.
Thanks, but the first two links, only pertain to Ford K R Wilson tools and the Packard link seems to only list non K R Wilson tools.TRDxB2 wrote: ↑Mon Mar 16, 2026 2:36 pmHere are some sources of KR Wilson ToolsModelTWoods wrote: ↑Mon Mar 16, 2026 2:03 pmCan anyone identify these K R Wilson tools?

Those are for the Packard Ultramatic Transmission, not an engine (prefix PU, Packard Ultramtic). The Ultramatic was introduced post-war ('48 or '49, I can't remember) and continued as the main automatic transmission for Packard until the end in 1956.ModelTWoods wrote: ↑Mon Mar 16, 2026 2:03 pmOne is identified as a tool for setting end play on a Packard but does not specify year or engine.

Thank You, Pep ! I knew someone would come through with the right answer. Since they are not for a Ford, they are FOR SALE, if any Forum reader is into Packards or knows someone who is.Pep C Strebeck wrote: ↑Mon Mar 16, 2026 10:31 pmThose are for the Packard Ultramatic Transmission, not an engine (prefix PU, Packard Ultramtic).

Do you have to be a AACA member to post ? If so, is there anyone who would post an ad for me ?Mark Gregush wrote: ↑Tue Mar 17, 2026 12:57 pmTerry you might post them in the Packard section on AACA.
Ford six cylinder, early 1950's, I think.
Would have been used in conjunction with the KRW engine stand.
Yeah, it would have been helpful if I had not forgotten to include that salient point of information. Thank you for the back-up Mark.Mark Gregush wrote: ↑Tue Mar 17, 2026 7:00 pmWould have been used in conjunction with the KRW engine stand.
