I was pleasantly surprised to see that their kits use a leather boot on the accelerator pump! Nearly every kit I've seen back in the '80s when I rebuilt quite a few of these used rubber of some kind but I've always thought the leather was preferable and will certainly hold up better with modern fuels.
Rebuilding the carburetor should be fun and a good learning experience for you. Be sure to refer not only to whatever instructions come with the kit but also to the shop manual and Packard Service Counselors. Also use a good quality cleaner. I've always used a
Chem-Dip tank with basket but I see that the 5-gallon Professional version is very expensive these days! There are other brands too but be sure to use a basket and avoid contact with your skin.
