Have never needed an electric fuel punp for my 40, which one is the best to buy these days. If possible don't want it loud, would like it small, and I heard some come with a pressure regulator. On my two other Packards have not used the regulator, I am told that the Packard carbs have heavier duty inlet parts and usually do not require a regulator?
Thanks.

Believe I had to grind off the bottom button, then tap a hole, and use a machine screw with a washer and loctite to reassemble. The last one I did was many years ago.

Might give this a try. Don't know this fellow. There was a fellow some years ago in San Diego, Wallace Walmsly, that used to reproduce them, he advertised for years in P.I. so you might also try P.I. office and see if they know anyone that took up the reproduction of these gears.

Thanks Oz, you have good karma. Just thought I would check ebay after seeing your post, and did a buy it now and got it. I can see I need to communicate with you more often when there are parts I need.

Thanks again. As I stated to perspective 1940 buyers remember this is a one year model, and many parts were for this year only.

Thank you for the research. Wonder if any other years will work? Would make my search much easier.

Mentioned this on another blog the other day, but will try a new thread. I need for my 1940 1808 a passenger side front bumper bracket. Looks like a Y. The one I have is in good shape, but at some point someone decided to weld on it. So would like to find one in great shape. It may be the same for other models or years, don't know. Hope all of you can answer.
Thanks

Looked at the 41 from Volo, if they negotiate the price, and you can talk with someone that knows the about the vehicle, might be a possibility. Under dash stereo out, replace with an ipod.
Just thought of something for my 40, want to replace the front passenger side bumper bracket. Mine at some point was welded on in a small area, so wanted to find one that is in better shape. Anyone have a front bracket? Do other years fit? Thanks

Thanks for the info. too bad we are so far apart. I'm in Vegas. If you ever need me to look for, or at something let me know.

West, thanks, who is reproducing the ash tray pullers? Would like to compare to the ones I made. Fortunately for me during restoration, am close friends with Fred Mauck, who still has a very original 1808, I would go and visit him every couple weeks, take pictures and measurements over the period of a year or so. Every time he had the car jacked up, I was under there with him. And of course Cal Soest would correct both of us at times.
