Not sure what modern switch was installed but 54 original switches should have been labeled the same as the modern variety. If your car had an older Packard switch, while functions are usually the same the old terminal ID was different. Packard GA is the same as modern ACC, Packard COIL is the same as modern IGN. Packard AM is the same as modern BAT.
In a typical 3 or 4 position ign switch the ACC terminal is hot with the key turned to either the left or right on direction but goes off if there is a 4th start position and the key is in that position to start the engine. IGN is hot only if the key is in the right or normal car running position and in the 4th start position.
