Good Morning and welcome to the tribe! I would consider dropping the oil pan and checking to see if it and the oil pump are clean...often they are dirty and the clogged pump will do damage to the engine. It the pump is dirty, then please consider doing the same with the valve chamber. Often on a start up after a long sleep what ever is in the fuel tank and gas lines needs to be cleaned out prior to using that portion of the fuel system...In the little shop I spend my Fridays in, we always use a separate two gallon tank connected to the carburetor for start ups....Beautiful Packard...Others will have many more suggestions...Ernie in Arizona
