Cannot help on the no engine vacuum issue but if you do not already have it, here is info on troubleshooting the S-W vacuum tank setup. No idea what Packard used but apparently there is more than one model.
Electric fuel pumps seem to be a hate them or love them thing so will pass on that comment other than to say if you get one be sure it has a very low pressure out. About the lowest 6v pump I can remember running across is the Airtex E8902 at 2.5-4.5 psi output. Am wondering if even that would be too high to replace a vacuum tank and gravity feed but I think there is another poster using one on a slightly later model. Maybe he can comment on any pros or cons.
