THEN i go to local discount store and buy a BRAND NEW Olds pump for about $75 and install it same day.
Keith brings up an important point that I meant to mention in a previous post. Even if one bushes the two shafts in the Packard oil pump, including extending the driven shaft into a new bushing in a new bottom plate, thicker plate, one is still left with the fact that the gear teeth ends and the circular outer surface that they spin in is
WORN. This significantly reduces the pumping efficiency because of the additional clearance. There is no good solution to this problem since NOS pumps and parts are essentially N/A.
A new Olds HV pump is just that:
NEW. For no other reason, one would install a new pump when experiencing oil pressure problems or during a serious rebuild.
