I’m having this issue, went to indiana got there on a full tank (7 hour drive) All of a sudden going 2 hours away I went through a full tank… distributor cap was done awhile ago, oil change, spark plugs have been done, spark wires can’t figure out what it would be. No check engine light one either.. suggestions?

Most '40 Packards have this problem. You have to check and correct the ring gap.

Unless maybe you are driving something other than a '40 Packard, then I guess we'll need some details.
