I checked the Cole-Hersee site. Here is the listing for the 24046 solenoid.

Thanks guys for the responses, I figured out the issue. It was me, we switched the car over to a negative ground.

Am curious if you have the replacement solid state compensator switch one of the regions has been selling. The normal Packard setup is not polarity sensitive.

Not sure how to tell since I haven't seen one up close. If you have had the car a long time and never replaced then probably original If you don't know history, you might be able to tell by looking to see if it looks new or the rivets holding the cover on look original, have been replaced or have screws and nuts instead of rivets.
At any rate, just trying to understand why the battery neg ground you mentioned would have any effect on the problem. The original switches were bimetal strips which had a small resistance wire wrapped around them. When activated they heated and bent the strips to give the delay. Those heaters didn't care what the polarity was as evidenced by the many cars switched either on purpose or accidentally by unknowing mechanics. Some of the early solid state replacements did care since transistors that controlled delay and brought in the relays only work one way. Not sure if they still care or if they now have additional circuity to allow mixed polarity.
