as always, thanks, for the input, and i hate to disagree,,but i do,

if i could i would put the chrysler bushing in too, only 10 bucks, and i would make a one piece shaft,,,

but , as with my bronze cam bearings,,,,, as jack said,, till it fails, in my book,,that;s an IF<,, on the pump..

we will see, cause this car is going to be my daily driver,

dave, as we know with the 55-56 there is something wrong, with this pump,, going back to port dons picture #4, i have a shaft just like it, in order to wear like that the shaft had to be cocked,,and nothing wrong with the inside of dist, gear. and look at the shaft leaning over, its loose as h,,l

with the electric motors I have made for my trains, if i get the armature shaft a little off, it vibrates like a sob. and that's a one piece shaft, now have a loose joint, forget it,

all thanks for the info, nothing will change my mind on this, that coupling is the problem, along with no upper shaft suppport,

what jack said about having shaft go into a base, that will solve a lot, besides a one piece shaft,

Packard as great of engineers as they were, they were out to the bar on this pump,,,,,
