I'm not sure how the export models may have differed from the domestic ones, but the 6 cylinder models probably had about the same trim as the Packard Eight Series. There is some good information on standard equipment for the various models in the 1948 salesman's fact book.

Great suggestion, but the distance between the flats on these plugs is 9/16" so a standard 1/2'' drive socket won't do the trick.

The same points were used for all Delco distributors in Packards from 1947 to 1956. The original Delco number is 1918148 an these were also used for 1949 to 1955 Cadillac and 1940 to 1955 Oldsmobile and Pontiac 8 cylinder cars.

All Junior Packards from 1935 on used standard 1/2" square head pipe plugs for fill and drain openings in the rear axle.

The 160's and 180's used an R-9A unit which has stronger internal parts then the R-9 used on the Junior cars. Bigger one-way clutch and 4 pinion planetary for example.
Look for the number cast on the side of the case.

Looks like Packard did cast the mounts "upside down" for 1935 and 1936.
The 1937 and newer cars that I am familiar with are the other way around and the pump that you have would work fine for those models.

I have an AC catalog from 1945 and was going to post some images from it but noticed that it was copyrighted by GM. I can send you copies of what I have if you PM me with your email address.

It looks like you have the correct type of pump for your car which is an AC Type X but the arm is upside down for the 1935 and 1936 cars.

Is this what you're looking for?

The left one should have an offset bend. I checked 2 of them and the parts book also shows the slight bend for the Monroe system.
The right one is straight

Looks like Phil has an oddball pump. Any that I have seen mount the other way, with the vacuum section on top.
You can easily check this by looking at the fuel pump mounting location on the engine block and comparing it to your pump. It can only mount one way.

Taxman,
The pump as pictured is upside down. The vacuum section is the one closest to the tape measure and the pump is installed with this section at the top. there should be 2 threaded openings in this section, an inlet and an outlet. The inlet or suction side should be connected to the wiper motor and the other side to the fitting on the intake manifold. You will need to bend up some new pieces of steel tubing to get this to work.
