Hi Bill, welcome to the wonderful world of packards.
That contraption has gotta be the oil pump. When putting things back together, you will also have to check that your distributor is corectly indexed. The distributor is driven be the oil pump. I suggest you read through the shop manuals in the Liturature and Manual section. They should be helpfull. 46-50 service manual

Thanks!!! (red faced emoticon added for dramatic emphasis)
Late last night I looked at that thing from the greasy and road grime covered and for the life of me could not figure what that was. Every oil pump I have ever become intimately acquainted with was installed in the oil pan. Yes...it is a new (old) and wonderful world of Packards (kinda fun to dig into something that has not seen the light of day for the last 70 years. "They" certainly have changed the thinking on automobile construction a bit in the last 7 decades. THANKS AGAIN!!!

The location and type of drive for the oil pump is quite standard for many engines of the era; all the flathead Chrysler, Desoto, dodge and Plymouth inline 6 and 8 cylinder., also Hudson, Nash, Olds and Pontiac, and many others.
Sounds like you're having fun - enjoy!
