I hate to say it eric, but i don't think the oil pump was the difference in your 320's not having the problems of the pure packards. it may be part of it, but not all of it. uncle changed the bearings only to the "hash" style bearing in the green dragon and it solved everything. 43 years later they are still in there and not a problem one. i do agree that the "packard" pump is troublesome. but i have known of people who put the amc pump in and didn't solve a thing either. I think if someone has a set of true "hash" n.o.s. bearings for a sample, that changing the bearings available now to match them and the olds pump conversion together would be the best bet.
