dl456 Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Years ago I bought a full box of Preferred brand. Packing rings. These work much better than the rope packing. All of my most common sizes are now empty . Any body know a source for replacements? Thanks Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmsue Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Snyder's Antique Auto Parts in Ohio makes a water pump graphite packing that worked great for me. https://www.snydersantiqueauto.com/product.htm?pid=979269&cat=41793 Goo Luck, Bill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Shaw Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 (edited) Just buy a 1 LB box and scarp cut your own. Edited December 5, 2021 by Mark Shaw (see edit history) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary 30U Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 I had Friction Supply in Boring , Oregon rebuild the water pump on my Plymouth 30U. The used it a a prototype and used modern ceramic seals (like from a swimming pool) and a new modern impeller. They turned down the original packing nut to fit over the new seal and it looks all original. Been working fine for about 8 years and no more drips. Might think about what you can do to upgrade yours from old packing style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
