Well the fuel pump has been removed... and was I think held on primarily by Muck Goo and Yuck. Those three are in my opinion assisting me in retaining most of the required fluids in the car... My grandfather was a businessman and not a mechanic! Though he owned a Packard dealership I'm convinced he was trying to prove how long a Packard could go without the engine or any other mechanical part being cleaned.
I got in touch with Hal Houghton with Classicpreservation.com and have a rebuild kit in route. Hal even had me send the air and fuel diaphragms to be pressed apart and repressed together. Im not sure he is charging extra for this extra service but the price of the rebuild kit itself was about 20 bucks cheaper than any of the other kits and is guaranteed to be right. He even called back several times to talk me through the process of taking the thing apart. Very patient and helpful. I would advise anyone to seek his assistance if attempting a pump rebuild for the first time.
