Re: Oldsmobile Oil pump conversion

Between those Craig built in the early days and those I've done, there are hundreds of conversions sold and installed. The Olds pump is as good as we can get for the Packard V8 oiling system.

FWIW, there was occasionally interference between the corner of the Olds pump and the Packard oil pan. This could be solved by selective grinding to fit.

To avoid this, the next production batch will have a slightly shorter adapter block for more clearance.

Every time I have the parts machined, I wonder how many more Packard V8s will be built, but without any advertising, the kits eventually sell out and I have to make more.
