Brenda, this is a duplicate of the question you asked on another post.
You may want to start a new post for each question you have or start project blog to keep all your questions together rather than cross-posting (double-posting). As this creates two lines of conversation and makes it harder for people to answer and people later to find those answers. Also, if you ask a question inside of someone else's post, unrelated to their post, it gets that post off topic (aka Thread-Jacking). Just trying to keep things tidy, and make it easy for people to find stuff later on.

It's hard to tell, I looking back through my rebuild picks, I don't see any step when I remove that. But, from the outside, it looks like a check ball, but I could be just plugged from the inside. I would have to look at the rebuild sheet to confirm.

yes there should be a plug just like the other side you mention. its like a small aluminum plug that is pressed in.

You are right. I believe I asked the question as a reply to another post and wanted the Subject line to gather more replies to my question. Now I know how it works.

Sorry it took so long to get this picture. Looks like there should be a metal ball in that hole. I don't know what is is though.

If it is leaking gasoline then go to a carburetor shop and they will have the small pellet that goes there. It is tiny. We just put it in and tapped it with a hammer to drive it in. No more leak. He didn't charge me a penny for it. Now I will use him when I do get it rebuilt. I found that auto parts don't have this fix, only a carb shop.

Brenda, can you show us a picture of your Packard? I for one would like to see it.
