Hudson V8 Fuel, Vacuum, Oil Pumps

Hello all,

This is my first post here so nice to meet you all! As many here will know, the 55 Hudson V8 was a Packard engine, but the accessory/peripheral layout was different than what Packard used. I have a 320 V8 off of a Hudson or Nash and am going to use it to replace the current engine in my 55 Packard Clipper. Currently I am refurbishing all the peripherals.

I disassembled the fuel/vacuum pump. It is in surprisingly good condition but it has not been serviced in decades I’m sure, so I want to rebuild it. Does anyone know the rebuild kit to use for the fuel/vacuum pump? This one looks close.

For the oil pump, I was reading thru a 55 Hudson service manual I found online but the oil pump section was missing. Does anyone have info on that section? Packard used a oil/vacuum pump combo so, because the vacuum pump is on the fuel pump on this one, I assume the oil pump arrangement must be different than the Packard style.

Thanks everyone and I will check back regularly.
