Re: Where's The Stop Light Switch On My 56 Executive?

It appears you have several good alternatives to the original hard to find Packard switch.

One other thing to consider if you are staying with original hydraulic type switches is the fluid. Dot 3 and 4 do not seem to be an issue but if contemplating changing to Dot 5, then several have mentioned switch failures after the change. The silicone seems to have shortened the life of their switches. I don't know if a modern replacement switch would be better but mechanical would seem to be the best option if you do consider changing fluid just to be on the safe side.
