THe post by HH56 above pretty much sums it all up.
However a minor correction:
The seperator plate is not pot metal. IT is steel. The vacuum pump body is pot metal and rather flimmsy.

In a nutshell. the OEM Packard pump is weak thru out. Several band-aid campaigns were offered by PMCC to "fix" the problems but they were at best just band-aid fixes just to appease the customer and dealers.
