The evaporator is an aftermarket Mark IV unit. I have one in my 56 Exec. Someone had indicated several years ago (i think it was Brian) that the dealer could install the Mark IV unit and sell it retail with labor cheaper than dealer wholesale on the factory option.

Im not sure anout the pump because i never got a pump with my car. I used 84 toyoata pump mounted similar to factory set up. What appears to be a Packard AU crest on the evap was probably added by a former owner or is POSSIBLY an F crest . The Mark IV was popular in Fords (and they made it with crest) 50's and early 60's.
