You have an old bike that has hard to find obsolete parts but for which you have a sentimental attachment.
If it was my bike, I'd replace the freewheel with a modern one, convert the shifter to friction, and continue to enjoy it for what it is. My bet is otherwise you'll drive yourself crazy trying to make the indexing reliable and you won't be able to enjoy the bike.
