You might try Echlin ECH SL159 which is available at most Napa stores and fits mid-70s Volkswagens. Same appearance and functionality as the Packard switch but with flat rather than round connectors. I've not tried it myself but I understand that its functionality is identical. If you're rewiring, the appropriate connectors can be used on the harness but otherwise it should be easy to fabricate an adapter. Being of modern manufacture, it should also be able to handle synthetic fluids.
