Thank you for taking the time to provide the picture and the explanation. It is most helpful. So, yes, my car has the water jacket but for whatever reason it does not have the oil cooler as shown in your picture. Instead there is a plate installed there. I have no idea if it originally had the oil cooler or if Packards might not have all had it. Perhaps you know. Instead of taking the water jacket off I was wondering about pulling the pump off of the front. One of the other responders says the radiator does not need to be removed to do that, although there does not appear to be a lot of clearance between the fan and the radiator. Another random tidbit of information that I got on line (so I don't know the true value of it) is that the pump blades are indexed onto the shaft with a pin or something and sometimes that comes off? I will send a couple of pictures later. Thank you again.
