I was considering going with manifold only and getting the unit rebuilt, but now I'm debating switching to electric.
Electric conversion the ONLY answer. See this on my website:

P.S. The oil pump and the wipers are the two main deficiencies. Of course, a disc brake conversion is required if you're going to drive your Pat much, particularly in metro areas with lots of "rice rockets." Otherwise, I think that most Packard engineering is first rate.
