Depending on how much you want to adhere to or deviate from authentic, if you look at factory illustrations you'll see that Packard used a more secure type of hose clamp on the inner (water pump) end of the short hose link to the tranmission cooler. I used the same clamps as you show elsewhere, but I used a modern SS screw-type clamp there - it's not exactly the most convenient and easy place to get at, which was perhaps Packard's thinking in using a better clamp there.
