I know nothing about Ford engines so what is the basic difference in the pumps? The pict posted earlier is of a Bosch off the Napa website which says it fits the Y 292 & 312--looks similar to Packard except the arm is slightly bent vs the Carter straight. The one posted for the FE engine looks the same to me--unless the arm length or something in the mount holes is different.

Don't need a pump but since O-D & Jeff have shamed me into reinstalling the vacuum wipers, when they arrive rebuilt next week will probably need to add a vacuum assist since the engine has a PI pump. Just looking for that option--as well as trying it out for any others that have the PI or Olds oil pump. Am still a bit concerned about the vacuum portion touching the block which is why I was hoping someone familiar with the Nash or Hudson had a number.
