John, even a broken clock is right twice a day.

I'm not saying that you guys are wrong, but how can you deny the fact that after all the research that Keith, Craig, and I did to solve the problem and prove that the stock Packard V8 oil pump is totally inadequate to do the job that it's requested, then found a suitable replacement, that people would even attempt to consider using the stock pump? It's not worth an expensive engine rebuild to take chances on a car that will be used regularly to use the stock pump. If you're restoring something that will sit 99% of the time, go for it. But if you're driving it at all, I'd replace the oil pump with something that won't destroy your engine.

There, beat the f'n horse some more.
