Page 102, and it's not an air cleaner, rather an air distribution chamber assembly!https://www.packardinfo.com/xoops/html ... partslist5556/09_Fuel.pdf

The "air distribution chamber assembly" listed in Gr. 9.1038, P/N 440991 (note 1 per car), is the "wing" - an air plenum. Note the related hardware (2 per car); that's one set for each carb.

The "emblem" listed in Gr. 9.1039, P/N 467001, is applied to that chamber - though I thought it was merely a decal, and monochromatic at that.

What is commonly referred to as the "pod" is listed in Gr. 9.102 as an "air cleaner assembly", P/N 440992 (note 2 per car). Note the related hardware (2 per car); that's one set for each "pod".

Also, the air cleaner/pod is the same P/N for both years, If there was a running change in design (i.e. - offset) for this one part for the 55-56 Caribbeans, then I'd expect some notation on the Packard engineering drawing.
