....and my name is David and I am an Ebay Packard Parts Buyer...and yes, simply post a picture of the parts, and I have no doubt the collective masses here will identify, and want to buy.

Kinda hard to tell Jim - the casting numbers are(?) the same, and it appears your pump has a slightly different appearance to the casting/support "fins" towards the nose, and not on the new pump? have they been ground off for pulley clearance?

And the picture of the double pulley for AC - is this an exact reproduction of the original part, my curiosity is whether this width belt is available for Sanyo pulleys or ...?

Very interesting information, especially for those who wish to have a spare waterpump on the shelf for their 40 or 41-50 356....and now, with or without A/C?

If you cannot find some new latches, I have several NOS rear latches which would supply the worn gear in question, along with new springs, should you wish to go to the effort to rebuild yours. I also have some NOS striker plates, which also get worn. $22.48 each for the latches (remember these are incorrect for direct bolt in, you are buying them for parts), and $22.48 for a pair of striker plates. But you gotta buy all of it to get this price, and pay $9.48 in shipping. Or try Joel Ray, Packards1 to see if he may have the correct front door latches.

OK, one more off topic lighter post. I have a NOS 399369 DASH lighter for 22nd series, will also fit 23rd series (22nd says LIGHTER on it, 23rd is plain). Will be live on ebait tonite, opening bid $22.23.

From the annuls of our local Packard mechanic, recently a Packard came in for waterpump service - owner did not feel a block flushing was necessary, just replace the pump....
Fortunately, our Certified Packard Master Mechanic is well experienced with Packard engines...
