Well I just tried to upload the pic again, following Kev's instructions. Hopefully got it right this time, though at present it is not visible. Guess I am 'computer challenged' to say the least.

Also, hope it doesn't insult any of the 'pure' Packard owners here, since it is technically a Stude. Though I would offer that it has the heart and soul of a Packard. Even the transmissions were Packard, since the only two options for 56Js were the Ultramatic or T85.

I also made a correction to the earlier info. This car has what I'd call the Max M. oil pump, since that is where I bought it a few years ago. It has an extended bushing at the upper end or the pump body. There may be other differences, but I did not disassemble it to inspect before mounting it (wish I had). It is the blue & white 56J that has the Melling pump; seems the older I get the easier it is to become confused :)
