I have read most of the posts, l also have the packard int., redesigned pump, also read about the olds pump problem.
Now what to do, olds or packard int. pump. i have taken apart the packard oil pumps, and have seen where the gears worn into the bottom plate. Why is no shim put in to keep gears off the plate?? But what oil pump did packard use in the 25,000 mile test?? If l use the olds pump, i will go full flow, but, i will keep it, in line with the oil filter. Unless i get you can't,, My dad put a luber finer filter in line. My dad was highly, anti gm, so i doubt i will put a gm pump on his engine. What are people doing about wipers?,, anyone know of a 12v vacume pump?. Which packard should of made.. or went electric. rik
