In response to the question about the electrical switch on the transmission.
Go to Packard Literature and Manuals.
Then Go to Service, Shop & Training Manuals
Select 1955 - 56 Service manual.
Go to the VIII Electrical section.
Figure 101 shows the orange wire coming from terminal F on the Auto Park Relay going to the pressure switch.
It shows an orange wire coming from the pressure switch to the PNR buss.
From inside you should be able to see an orange wire leaving the steering column and going to an ivory-colored multi-wire plug. Following that plug under the hood you should be able to follow the orange wire. It SHOULD be going to the pressure switch. I believe someone has routed it to the F terminal on the Park Relay.
Test the switch for continuity. You will need to replace it if it does not have continuity. You can then connect the orange wires as they should be. Several Packard vendors carry that switch.
I know - I'm long-winded.
