Good Morning All,
A fellow Packardite (new to the fold) queried me about whether '48-'50 Packards require that the water pumps be packed with grease to keep them from leaking.
This is a new one on me. Apparently someone told him that and he questioned me about it. Anyone ever heard of such a thing? I figure if the seal is shot, it's going to leak no matter what is put in it. Thoughts, abuse and head scratching welcome!
I'll check service bulletins when I get a chance.
