I second the meatloaf, Mike.
Definitely better looking than all the other nasty stuff.
Congrats on the distribution tube removal. Line pliers (or needle nose, or something) is needed to ease it loose. (I think I actually used a wire with a little hook to catch on of the holes in the tube to assist sliding it out.
Be careful as you have the tube out. It bends easily (brass?). Also ease it back in, gingerly.
One more tip from an un-named-Packard-geek. "Make sure the distribution tube is not still on your workbench when you replace the water pump." I hear it takes longer that way.
Good Luck.
