BTW the Packard had a big metal tank with a twin-arm screw-down top to house a filter. It was an option item in 1953.
I replaced that monster with a spin-on mod as the original filters were not available.
Beautiful straight 8 flathead engine; a real pleasure to drive.

A strap wrench is fine, hand tight is fine as well so long as you have a strong grip.
