Jay, My 47 has the bolts with the holes drilled for safety wire. The bolts tend to loosen periodically no matter how tight I fasten then within reason so I suspect Packard used safety wire for this reason. I also have a 6 volt pump inline but use it only to prime the carb. I have thought of a block-off plate also however and just eleiminate the loose bolt/oil leak problem.
