I am not familiar with the Packard Streight 8. But by and large and for the most part, across a wide variety of engines, the "cam" u speak of is only a bolt-on-and-off eccentric "disk" on the FRONT of the cam GEAR. IF it is worn then u should be able to feel rather rough surface on the "cam". Actually it is usualy called a Fuel Pump Eccentric. If there is no rough surface the eccentric should be ok.
Check the ARM movements of the 2wo pumps u have. Be sure that they pump moving int he SAME direction. Make sure the arm movement is the same for BOTH pumps.
This assume that the "other" pump was correct????? Did the "other" pump actually work????? That is to ask:
Have u with your own eyes and your own ears actualy SEE and HEAR the engine or any engine ever run with the "other" pump????
