Loyd:
I did mine in Pennzoil and am still waiting for a base to show up. I did get a set of locator fingers and have them set up and calibrated. I know that that packing was a terror to get out. I had to machine a new upper packing gland and nut for mine, since the friend who gave me the pump cut the meter tube off to solder a square electrical box. That was so he could wire a light socket on it.
