Owen gives excellent advice in post #30 above. Pending firther inspection i see nothing to indicate a complete overhaul.

If the oil pump checks out ok then probably just continue on with it. My comment about the oem Packard V8 pump being of poor design is a rather relative comment. Relative in the sense that we are dealing with a PACKARD and not somekind of a utility grade vehicle like a jeep or chevy. But the pump should be inspected before any final decision is made.
