Fred,

The fuel pump came with the car when I bought it. It worked at that time then it sat for 4 years until I rebuilt the engine. It worked fine while the engine was being broken-in. Then it sat for 2 years while I finished the car. Just when I was ready to drive it, the diaphragm blew spewing gas all over my shop. The moral I learned from the story was that when your not sure of the condition of a critical component, get it rebuilt whether it works or not! It's on it's way back from Gould now.

I like to go the Packard Brooksville Spring Tour, if the car runs, I'll be there!

Wanted to debut the Packard at the Kaiser-Devereaux meet in Sarasota this Sunday but the fuel pump nixed that. Weather is supposed to be bad anyway.
