Rik, I screwed up. It is PCS, not MoonEyes. That Classic Instruments module on the Moon site appears to be something to work one of Classic's gauges that has lights or some transmission range indicator on it and is not an actuator control. Moon did have a real actuator though. There was a customizing guy from SoCal with a TV show some years back. One of the shows featured the Moon unit being installed on one of his hot rods but that setup has apparently been discontinued.
The pushbutton setup I was thinking of was actually made by PCS Was thinking if the square control module could have the button and indicator lettering turned 90 degrees it might fit in the Packard pod.
Probably the easiest and least expensive solution on a GM trans conversion would be to use the RR actuator -- if they are not becoming obsolete and there is room to mount it with the X frame member being so close. As I mentioned, the wiring and operation in the RR actuator appears to be surprisingly similar to the Packard unit and could probably be adapted to use the stock pushbuttons rather easily.
