By the mid to late 1920s gasoline had been sufficiently improved that devices like the fuelizer no longer provided any benefit and in fact could be detrimental to performance. Folks I know who have cars with fuelizers just restore them cosmetically and leave them intact but nonfunctional mostly as a conversation piece. Parts are not particularly easy to locate.
Spark plugs suitable for your car are readily available from auto supply stores, I don't have a brand and number in front of me at the moment - someone will come along with it or try the Autolite website for spark plug recommendations. One of the best professional shops for vintage clutch work is Fort Wayne Clutch.

2) The spark plug on the fuelizer is not necessary and would likely cause vaporization issues in hot weather, it was needed when fuel was much less volatile. I have left the old one in my 126 with a dummy lead for appearance only. The fuelizer was discontinued shortly after the First Series cars.
3) When I rebuilt my 126 many years ago I could not find new spark plugs so I used modem plugs with an adapter to fit the larger threads. I believe the correct plugs are now available. The Autolite parts finder on line list the plugs as 3076 5) I have stripped many clutches for this model and always found them to be in good condition except for the large splined hub that fits to the transmission. The splines have always had indentations that prevent the plates from separating properly. I had my hub splines recut deeper and all new metal plates made to suit. 7) the attached sketch shows the engine mounting. A copy of the original Packard parts book is very helpful with its illustrations, Merritt has them, they cover the 1922 to 28 models. A service manual is also available and worth having but it's not nearly as useful as the parts book. I have sent you a PM .

Thank you all for the information. This will certainly help me out. I am sure I will have some more question later.
Thanks again.
