If you are using it for 6 volts, the bulb is a 4515, 30W PAR36
For 12 volts, 4405, 30W PAR 36

You will need a heat valve counterweight. Yours is broken off and missing.

I have some old AC and Airtex fuel pump catalogs and found the AC 9589 pump number in an Airtex catalog that crossed over to the Airtex replacement pump number AX 9294 and then found the 1949-54 Oldsmobile listing from there.
The arm on the pump in the original photos is definitely too long and wrong for Packard applications.

Pump 9589 is for 1949-54 Oldsmobile 8 cylinder models and will not fit your Packard

1951-54 heater cores have different inlet and outlet piping than 1955-56 and will not interchange

The engine is not easily accessible for a photo but definitely had remnants of red paint with no other color present.
It was installed in a 22nd Series Custom 8 that had been renumbered with the 1949 serial number 2252-9-7023 from an original number of 2252-7114. The original Washington State title showed the engine number as G609044C which would be consistent with mid 1948 production.
There is a raised pad at the top of the block just to the rear of the oil filler tube for the serial number and it is blank for the replacement engine. Casting date on this engine is January 24, 1950, so much later than the original.

The red painted engines were not factory rebuilt but rather new replacement long blocks with no stamped serial number.
I have one of these that came out of a 22nd Series Custom 8 sedan.

The "Packard Tips" articles appeared in the Pacific NW newsletter for many years and was written br Gary Russell of Delta, BC. They were consolidated in the book and re-published.
He also ran very well organized annual club tours for many years.

Re: What size vibration damper bolt head do you 356 owners have?

Craftsman 1-3/4" 12 point socket, 3/4" drive with S-K 47153 breaker bar needs 4-1/8'' or more clearance to slip in place. Not a lot of room to swing the handle from above but may work OK from below. Was not able to check on my 1948 Custom as it is put away for the winter but have a spare motor for reference.
Plenty of room in the vibration damper for the unaltered socket.

The bulb chart in the owners manual is incorrect
The rear bulbs should be 1154 or equivalent, same as the front
