Re: 52 200 Deluxe in need of input/help to resolve remaining issues

thank you Howard and Kevin!
I think the switch below the headlight might be my washer fluid. You can see the same combination on few Packards online when you google Packard dash. It's a push button and has 3 wires/2 connections but I'll know more once I remove the switch as it's very hard to see even with a phone camera and flashlight.
The hissing sound appears to be near the carb's climatic control/vacuum but I need more research. It might be a cracked intake but the sounds doesn't change when the RPM goes up or down or at least I didn't notice it. I did disconnect the hose from the T that goes to the canister and power brake and I can feel the vacuum and nothing changed. I'm assuming that the top inlet is for the vacuum and the bottom is for the hose that goes to the filter for the atmospheric pressure. I'm not sure if it really makes a difference since I don't recall any open/close port that wouldn't allow air to go one way and not the other but the Bendix has too many parts! BTW, mine has the two hose connections rather than the little box (filter?) as seen in the step by step instructions.
I did start testing the temp sender as Howard suggested. I'll hopefully have the full test tomorrow.
As far as the engine itself, based on this sitehttps://www.packardinfo.com/xoops/html/downloads/PackardEngineSerials.pdf , my engine block has K419893 and this engine was for a 250/300 and not a 200. So, it might have been swapped with a larger engine some time in its life unless one could have ordered one with a larger engine for the 200 Deluxe (I doubt). The head has 426408 288 STD 327 AT stamped on it. That said, most Packard parts say the sender unit fits all 51-56. Do I have a different heads that came for a 250/300 block? I believe the threads on the adapter was some weird 11/16th. Was this in the older heads? do the 327 engines use the same sender unit as the 288?
I have attached few pictures for reference.
Thanks
Anatole
