Packard Forum Index » V-8 (1955-56)

As to the PV8C oil pump adapter kits (Melling, Oldsmobile or whatever): As of this date a total of 12 kits have been sold. Not sure exactly how many are running on the street at this time, but "several" is reasonable. There are 6 more prospective buyers waiting for $ or circumstances to purchase. I have no more kits in stock, but have contacted the machinist to knock out 2-4 more depending on what material he has on hand.

One of the kits went to Rich Fox who's building a Packard V-8 for his Bonneville Vega. That ought to be the "acid test".

In any case, no reports of problems from anybody. Those who have one running report about 10psi increase in oil pressure across the board.
