Good idea, I'll check today.

Got the tubing done today. Very similar to the Hash arrangement, including the clip that goes in the hole symmetrical to the front oil filter bolt hole. Though on those cars the fuel line ran up the firewall. Obviously I will be running it in the factory location.

Also got the distributor installed. 😃

Except the Hash didn't have the vacuum pump in the crankcase so on a Packard the vacuum line from the carb would head toward the firewall and only the fuel line would be visible in that front of engine location.

Thanks for responding, but no, the Hash cars had a combined fuel and vacuum pump. It's exactly what I have, only difference is there is not a 3rd long parallel line for fuel. (The engine is out of a Hash and I rebuilt the original fuel pump.) It works quite well as I explain in this post since the fuel fittings, and vacuum fittings are naturally the same as on a Packard. The only difference is I had to replace the 1/4" pipe to 3/8" flare fitting on the inlet side of the fuel pump, with a 1/4" pipe street elbow 90 to fit the adapter hose 419506.
