John, If you have a Packard shop manual, it will probably give it in the Electrical section. I know the 51-54 has it on page 30, and I suspect that the wire sizes are the same.

I finally finished up trouble shooting the turn signals on my 51 - there is a double barreled connector (looks like a miniature shotgun barrel) with two flat copper plugs that fit into it. One is for the right hand blinker, and the other for the left. One seemed to be in the hole, but it was loose, and both were corroded and nasty. A little work with some emery cloth and some dielectric grease and all is well again. Plus I replaced both of the junction blocks on the fenders. Nice new brass bolts, clean connectors and dielectric grease seems to have done the trick.
