After looking at your photos, it appears these 2 may not be Packard. Who knows? Guess I need to test them to see if they work or not. The electrical system in this car has been so pieced together and I have had lots of problems. Hopefully this new harness will help.
Thanks for your input.

I recently had my speedometer on my 23 series rebuilt at Bob's in Howell, MI. Very nice to deal with. Here's a link

THANK YOU! I appreciate all the information you have given me.

Sorry for not responding sooner, busy weekend.

The switch plunger, as asked, does not do anything with the pulley wheels. The wheels are of a light metal, possibly magnesium could be carbon as I am not sure what it looks and feels like.

Upon further inspection of the switches there are letters stamped into Bakelite on the side of the switch. "B" on the lower receptacle and "M" or "W" on the upper one. Both of the switches are similarly marked.

These maybe a resistor as there appears to be an electrical connection to both ends of the "Pulley" which I should now call a disc. Now I wonder if the once disc is still useful.
How do I test them to make sure they will work correctly?

Should have added these pics also of the pulley assembly broken down.

I've been putting in a new wiring harness on my '49 23 series 8. I removed the instrument cluster and found on the back of the "Clutch" and "Blower" switches a fiberboard (Not sure of the correct name)with a pulley type of assembly. Is this part of the windshield wiper cable assembly?

Any ideas or recommendations on how to replace these? What kind of material can be used? As you can see some of the fiberboard is frayed on the ends. It appears there was some electrical arcing, hence a reason for the new harness, that caused the fiberboard to separate thus stopping the pulley from turning. The pulley has been damaged also but maybe repairable.

Thanks for your help!

OK, we were watching Warehouse 13 season 3 (Netflix DVD's)
Title of the show is "3..2..1" Half to admit I had 1 eye open.

Without going into great details, 2 Secret Service Agents (wink, wink) in the 50's are sent to a farm to locate this artifact, "Joshua's Trumpet". The agents a male and female are making out in what appears to be a 54 Packard Convertible.
(Sorry I'm not good at IDing the year of the cars).

I was half interested in the show when the Packard showed up. Had to back the show up and watch it again to make sure it was in fact a Packard. Sure enough!

Someone from So Cal Packards must have supplied the car, it looked brand new.

Would have saved a clip for you to watch, but that is way over my head.

Augie,
I found mine after taking the ash tray out of the front seat.

The '46 and '47 Packards had a quasi running board, no mats or markings on them but the door and body had a slight molding of a running board. The '48 did away with them completely.

Think this one is a bit pricey
