You're welcome, and what I neglected to mention is on a car this old you need some way of verifying what you even have. Factory is AutoLite and you have Delco. Not a problem but the parts won't match.

I like to check the parts book first to get an idea of what should be there, then go check. Though the only time this really happens is engine accessories, e.g. distributor, generator, starter, carburetor, whatever. Most of the other parts on the car are unlikely to be swapped. In any case, if you open the unit for inspection or read the data plate on it, usually it's clear whether it's the same or not.

P.S. If you use some rubbing alcohol on that tag it might clean up better.

P.P.S. Does your engine serial match the car serial?https://packardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=2727
