You're better served with good grounds, 00 (double aught) battery cables ends crimped and soldered, using a battery disconnect switch--Cole Hersee brass marine grade available online or at any NAPA store is fine -- and an Optima six-volt Red Top 800 cold cranking amp battery. Don't reinvent the wheel. Your Packard started and operated fine when it left the dealer. Two words to remember: "Factory standard."
