Let us know what you want to know - the 35's have a few unique quirks, but are otherwise affordable, fun cars...

Still need to know exactly which model you are working on. First 3 digits of the serial number would be a good start. Then maybe someone here can fix you up with a pump, or a pump casting.

....now why didn't I think of that? I've known Arthur forever...I guess I didn't think he did the packing style pumps. I will check and report back. Thx.

O-D: I recently obtained a 37 Su8 water pump. I have learned it more important to have parts rebuilt and ready than cores on the shelf, and have a proposal from a well know rebuilder in the Northwest to overhaul for $195 "with a real seal". My question is, is this a reasonable price?

???? what model are you working on?, the 120 pump is completely different from the senior pump, visually, however the technology is the same. the packing nut can only be replaced by disassembling the pump, but you know that...

Two comments - first, I think someone should start a string for "Packard sightings" for photo's such as these, just out and about photos, not just professional calendar car portraits. And second, John, you'd better move your car soon, its in a no parking zone...

Then you will be no better off with this manifold, and further from any chance of returning to original. When properly adjusted, the original choke works fine.

yes, tie some cheesecloth at the tailpipe for a short while after the car has warmed up. Remove and sniff - does it smell like burnt oil (passing rings) or burnt antifreeze, possibly a leaking headgasket. This is definitely a very open ended question for a neophytpe step one clue. Having said that, I'm sure some Real Mechanics will chime in suggesting compression tests, carb adjustments, and full diagnostics. I just happened to come across your post with a half glass of good scotch still here.

kinda sorta almost. to what choke are you referring, are you referring to the original Throttle control, or have you bypassed the original choke thermostat? Two different functions - choke is air/fuel mix, and Throttle is basically idle control (or prehistoric cruise control...) Which carburetor are you running? this would definitely affect my further comment.
Will the manifold bolt up? yes.
