Big Kev, Owen and Brian, Thanks for the quick responses, education and direction to the service index. Mystery solved! (And in answer to BigKev's question my Packard does have the three round gauges.)

Incidentally another odd thing about this car, I don't know if it's normal or not, but the entire oil bath air cleaner assembly had been "tinned" with some type of solder to make it shiny metal instead of a painted air cleaner. Looks as if done in manufacturing. I discovered that when stripping the paint which was only a brush-job.

Thanks for a great site and all the work put into it.
