Tom,
It isn't much of a kit, the guys at Packard Seattle have found a Chevy timing reference plate (the zig zaggy type) with the same harmonic balancer diameter so it lends itself easily to our Packards. They just cut off the Chevy mounting point and welded on a base that fits the timing cover on our cars. You still have to pull the starter and index it (put a dimple in the balancer) manually the first time. Let me know if you want a picture of my installation.
Peter Toet, Dave (Owen Dyneto) and some others here have probably forgotten more about these cars than I know, so I would take their advice over mine 10 out of 10 times.
