Looks like you should, look at group 30.034, toggle grip assembly.

wise words!
Mike, also don't seem to have an ash tray/lighter combo like that car has that I linked to. the rest of the pictures are of the wiring and the buttons/knobs/switches. some of it I have no idea. it all has me a bit worried it will short and catch fire. the carb is okay with me, its the breather that doesn't sit right with the chock on the side of the carb. also the throttle return springs don't seem hooked up right. click on the pics so you can read the text on them. also, 2nd gear gets chatty. 1st and 3rd and quiet. any thoughts, besides checking the gear oil? help....and/or shoot me. I hate wiring.

the link is for a 37 non divider 1091.
I went and messed with the car a bit more. the round knob on the left turns the main heather on, the other doesn't seem to do much of anything (it is a rheostat type knob), but that could be for the defrost motor, which isn't hooked up. the knobs are very wonky. take the knobs off and you can see where a bulb would go. the heater is the Packard Deluxe heater or so it says on the front. the switch in the middle does work, but only when the headlight switch is pulled out. otherwise it does nothing, so I didn't break anything. the headlight switch is all messed up too. pull once for fender lights, pull again for headlights with no fender lights and no use of the highbeam/lowbeam switch on the floor, and pull the last time for headlights with no fender lights and full use of the foot highbeam/lowbeam switch. that doesn't seem right to me. also pulling the headlight switch without the key in will make the ammeter go from 0 to 7.5 to 15 amps with each pull of the switch respectively. I plan to take the ammeter off as you are right it is pegging while car is running and that doesn't seem healthy. to be honest, like BigKev is saying, a GM wiring harness with fuse block is what this thing needs, but that will have to wait and I will just have to go around fixing this amateur wiring job. not sure what that drain cock is for under the carb. spend about 45 min stuffing the driver's door weather seal back in the groove on the door. whoever did it did not get it set right. i plan on checking over each door. i don't want to get too into it as the Texas meet is 2 weeks away and I need it to start and run long enough to get from the bnb we are at to the host hotel and back. I rented a trailer.

The manifold heat valve is open when the counterweight is down. This happens when the thermostat spring relaxes enough to allow the weight to drop.

Henry,
After the car was sold outside the family it had A/C installed. I assume much of this wiring was done to make the A/C work. Would that explain some of the interesting wireing?

I won't pretend to understand city, country, passing and all the fancy combinations of one side off or on they seemed to think necessary then. Assuming the car wasn't converted to modern seal beam operation, from your description expect some of the original would still be there. 37 manual doesn't say squat but here is a blurb from the 36 manual on headlights. Same switch (early 36 version shown and changed in mid 36 to same type as 37 used) so imagine they would work the same way.
