: My Dad gave me the car and the water pump leaks, I'm not sure what he used for packing.

: Would really appreciate some suggestions of what I could pick up at the local automotive parts store that would do the job.

Blair,
Afraid you will be out of luck at the local parts store.But at your local plumbing shop you will find a very simular packing used for the top of the valve stem on a water facucet. Use it in an emergency.In the meantime.The Model A suppliers listed on the MAFCA WEB will have the right stuff. If you drive the car a lot and dont want to bother with the packing, consider one of the improved pumps availible from the suppliers.Or buy the necessary items to build your own if that is what you wish. I prefer the later.
Have fun!
Paul
