The oil pump on the Packard straight eight is what has the distributor and oil pump drive gear on it. You have to pull the oil pump out to get it to move over a "tooth". As for anything falling off and into the pan, I don't think that's possible, since the lower shaft of the distributor is pinned to the distributor.
