Re: '55 Pat Brake Light Switch

My Echlin catalog (not particularly new) doesn't list an SL 159, but shows SL 138 as the correct switch for the 55/56 Packards with T/L. The OEM switch (Packard #439841), Wagner Lockheed # FC-22052 is extemely rare to find, most having been ruined prematurely by conversion to silicone brake fluid. But there are several well-publicized alternatives including other hydraulic switches as well as a mechanical switch on the pedal arm.
