Re: 1937 water pump removal

I am in the process of converting my 115c to a pressurized recovery system, the pump you have is a 1939 six pump and can be bolted to the block using the three bolts the 1937 use. The fourth ( top left or drivers side in the USA) can either use a bolt with a thin hexagon with the nut facing forward, the second option is to drill and tap the block. If the pressure should be kept to either 4lbs or 7lbs then three bolt are sufficient.
I have recently made stainless steel backing plates to suit the water pumps.
Good luck with your 138cd a rare and lovely Packard.
