I experienced the broken coupling in my '65 337 a few years ago. In my case, it was as described, the pump was toast too. One reason to mention it is on the rear engine, if you break the coupling, you can end up with part of it in the oil pan. If you can't find all the pieces, it is teardown time for the motor. This happened to me when I was halfway across the country, I didn't sleep well that night, and was very relieved when the mechanic called and said he found it all...
