1937 120 Water Pump

I have a leaking '37 120 water pump. The bushings seem to be OK, and tightening the packing helped for a few hundred miles, but the packing nut is now bottomed and the leak is back. The fan seems to be very straight and balanced. Fan belt is good and not too tight.

Does anyone make a 120 water pump with "modern style" seals and bearings?

I have some (old) new packing, but I don't know what it's for. It appears to match the Packard shaft size. I don't know if it's a full set. I've got four split rings that look like little donuts.

It looks like I can take the pump and fan assembly off the car to work on it (or replace it) more easily than trying to pull the fan and pulley with the pump in the car.
