HI, I think I have the same car as you. Are you able to time it without a timing light? A guy said to raise the piston in #1 spark plug all the way to the top because Packard timed the cars from that plug, even put in a wire to see that it is all far up as possible, look to see that the points are closing and tighten the distributor and replace the cap. He said it will get it going until I can get it timed properly with a timing light. What are you thoughts? The backyard mechanic who is working on it has no light so I'm looking for another way. What are your thoughts?
