Re: 1953 Clipper Deluxe Heater Blower Switch

I believe the difference is toggle and rotary but things are rather gray and ambiguous as to which models got which switch--even in Packard literature. 51-2 was toggle for sure--both in wiring and pictures. 53 wiring diagram and a picture from the photo archive of a 53 senior shows a rotary but the owners manual shows a toggle. 54 wiring shows rotary and Packard models used them including the 5431 chassis-- but Clippers used toggle yet the part number for 5431 and another senior Packard chassis is for the 51-2 toggle.

EDIT: The retaining nut part numbers on all 51-3 switches are the same so in all probability they will interchange -- obviously the rotary needs a knob if trading up. Kev is probably right in thinking that 53 Clippers might also have gotten the toggle.
