The air cleaner bracket on your engine I don't think is factory. It appears too short for the stock smaller engine cleaner and almost looks like someone tried to duplicate the short holder for the style of cleaner Packard used on the 54 Senior 359 engine. As far as I know Packard never used a filter in the senior style for anything other than a 4 barrel but they were used by other mfgs. Perhaps there was a 2 barrel variant a previous owner found at a junkyard. That is how I found a 4 barrel version when I needed a cleaner for the one missing on my 54 Pacific. Believe mine came off a Buick and maybe other GM cars had a 2 barrel.
