I am already aware that the setup from the factory functions fine. I wasn't asking that at all. I was asking if anyone has done this conversion before.
As you have likely gathered, the answer is almost certainly no, and for good reason. Packard was a high end company that not only engineered their products well (as most cars were, honestly) but also had the money and paid attention that every important part had a high quality action. Remember that ALL cars of this time were manual transmission, brakes, steering, rear wheel drive, etc. Packard and other luxury makes had to distinguish themselves in ways different than shoving in power options (as occurred later) or technology (as has been the case since the 80’s).
You should have a thorough understanding of the operation, and any flaws of the current system before you re engineer or replace it. Though limited to the technology of the time, the system in your car was designed by many if not tens of engineers, iterated over a couple decades.
