To be sure, i was talking about no relay for the alternator wiring, do relay/fuse the AC. There are lots of conversion brackets for generator to alternator, don't know if one would work on the packard V8. Does the car have a voltmeter or ohms meter? It will work either way, just depending on how the car is wired if an ammeter will actually being reading accurately. My ammeter was long bypassed so i never bothered with it.
The bracket that is usually used looks like this:
