I will absolutely do that thank you

This is actually the first time I've ever worked on a Packard or 6 volt system so I'll be in and out of this forum for a long time to say the least so far all the information I've gotten from you guys it's invaluable I really appreciate it

Thanks I will do that although battery ground for the cable going to the battery the ground it's not a cable it's a strap it's an actual ground strap from the block to the negative post on the battery so I don't know if those can be saved I mean it looks really good shape actually surprisingly but yeah I know I'll look into the starter and clean up all the connections thanks I appreciate it I know this isn't the actual form for that but I just thought I'd throw it out there

So I'm guessing theoretically if I got a mechanical pump it should just bolt right on and actually work which I might do well I'm going to do but I kind of want to just bypass that or take that electronic fuel pump right out of the equation at least for the time being anyways.

But then I got to figure out how to get it running I've turned it over but it sounds sick it just doesn't seem like there's enough ooumpf or compression this is it turns over really slow.

Yeah so I obviously don't have the heat shield on here looking at it right now and I don't see anything else the that plate that has a question mark on it I'm pretty sure that's where the fuel pump one cuz there's a piece coming off the side of the block and it looks like it has some teeth in it or ridges so you should be able to see The ridges that I was referring to behind that plate on one of the photos and the second photo is of the carburetor and you can see that there's a fuel line at the top running towards the firewall across and down under the car and the rubber hose fuel hose that's coming off the filter connects to it

Okay so I'm guessing by the looks of the diagram and what I have on the car that is where the mechanical pump goes the big question is if I took that backing plate there that played off I should theoretically be able to just bolt in a mechanical pump right

All right this is from the top of the engine behind what looks like an oil pump and the water pump and I think I see that backing plate

So you said there may be a backing plate this is what I see I don't know if that's where the pump should be or not

All right so my apologies it's a 53 Packard cavalier now I know that many say and show the fuel pump on the right front of the engine block on the bottom but this one doesn't have one I can't seem to find it now when I look at the carburetor I see the hose coming off the filter and it goes straight back to the firewall down under the car to the back now I pulled off an electric fuel pump which many have said they don't recognize that as far as a Packard product there are pictures of that fuel pump on my other thread named need help identifying this part I believe that seems to be the only fuel pump on there I don't know if it was an afterthought from a previous owner or what.

Thanks.they should be straighter then doing brake lines which I'm currently working on for the Packard.

Are they 3/4 or 5/8? For the fuel lines
