You can find KD tools on-line athttp://www.sjdiscounttools.com/manufacturers-kd-tools.html. I did a qucik check and did not see a #815.
They may have changed their part numbers. Maybe you can get the diameter of the #815 from Qwen_Dyneto that he used. Or maybe a phone call to KD at(800) 688-8949 might help.

Here's a couple of drifts I've used. The larger black one with the broken pilot shaft is the K-D which incidently isn't specific to Packard but was suitable for many other makes of flat-head engines with removeable guides. You really need it's larger mass for removing guides. Though it can also be used for installing new guides I prefer the smaller and lighter ones as you can be a bit more precise with them, especially if you chill the new guides before installing. It's no fun to drive one in too far and have to back it out.
On the K-D, the pilot is 0.340" x 1-1/2 inches, length not critical. The second section is sized to fit within the guide bore, OD 0.555" x 2" length. Upper section to suit.

Larry, I said you can make the dimensions of the upper part "to suit", but remember that you'll probably be swinging your hammer with all the head studs still protruding above the block. So to avoid the chances of whacking a stud, make the upper portion at least 3-1/2 inches long so it protrudes above the studs and gives ample length for a good hand grip.

Here's a valve guide driver from Goodson (bottom)(GP-534-G) 11/32". If you're doing one or two using a hammer is ok but for sixteen you might consider pneumatic.
The other 2 in the pic are for checking bore size. <a href="http://s1216.photobucket.com/albums/dd378/JT120/?action=view¤t=P1000747.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1216.photobucket.com/albums/dd378/JT120/P1000747.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

The powered type driver from Goodsonhttp://www.goodson.com/ is a PH-2229-G for the same size as the manual one in previous post. Using power will greatly reduce the time in changing all the guides.
The manual driver in my previous post is 6.5" long.
