Randy - Keith,
My conversion has yet to run. It was installed last year when I rebuilt my engine with CraigH in Nevada. We also went with a full flow oil filter instead of using the original. Craig tells me that as many a dozen of the adapters are out there now on 55-56 Packards and reports are positive.
I expect to paint my car in late summer/early fall; I'll get the engine in then and advise.
BTW......what ever changes CraigH made to the design, I have not had to shave or re-work the oil pan. The only thing CraigH advises is that I'll have to trim the oil dip stick an 1" to 1 1/2".
