Keith -
Attached is a photographic illustration of the oil pump used in the '56 Golden Hawk - from the Studebaker Service Bulletin that recommended installation of the "sump tube".
Notice that there is no vac pump on this version of the Packard V8 oil pump - just a flat bottom plate. While some Packard owners have spent good money to eliminate the vac pump in favor of a flat plate, clearly some 56 GH owners had the same complaint as PackardV8 owners or Studebaker would not have published this bulletin for the 56J.
Seems to me that the vacumm pump was NOT at the root of the lifter noise and oiling issue.
