Re: 1956 Packard Caribbean

On the PS hoses, I don't have any good photos of the frame bracket and the factory AC blower covers all that area up from the top so I can't take any of my car without removing the blower. I did get a poor partial shot from the bottom. The Caribbean should have the Bendix system with the separate control valve. If it is the Monroe then the same route but slightly different with the final loop at the bottom.
The hoses go from the pump to a large clamp and rubber support on the air vent tube then to the rear of the left head. A piece of bent metal which is more of a holder than a clamp keeps them away from any linkage. From there they drop down to a U shaped bracket and another rubber grommet affair bolted to the side of the frame. Loops of hose then goes on to the Bendix control valve or the Monroe unit. The length of the final loop seems to vary -- large enough so the control valve has full range but not so long that they drag the ground.
On the dual action fuel pump check out Ford pumps used on the 312 engine. I believe 57 Thunderbird with vacuum wipers is a pump that has been used which has almost the same arm as Packard did on their pumps but I don't know if the fuel section ports are in the same location as Packard pumps. There have been several who have converted to the dual pumps so perhaps someone has some definite applications that fit.
