That's easy enough to check. Just wiggle the base while it is running. Or use a jumper wire. Sometimes the old plating on Packard screws loses conductivity.

However, Packard liked to run a dedicated ground wire for it's regulators depending on year.

To test the brushes ground out the small field wire on the generator. If it starts charging the problem is not the generator.
