I agree. The T-U in my 55 Pat was O'hauled by Trowbridge Automotive (Portland, OR) in the late 1990s, before I bought it. I know this from receipts in the glove box. I presume it was upgraded to 1956 parts by them at that time since they had been servicing Packards for years. The T-U has given flawless service to this day and I drive it a lot.

I can't say as much for the original oil pump though, which was overhauled at the same time with the engine. The Olds pump conversion has been in the V-8 for years and gives flawless performance.
