Good Luck!

What do you mean by a main switch? If you could take a picture of the switch maybe one of use could tell you what it is. It may be a power cut off switch so some thief can't just get in and start it.

Jippi, I got brakelight the problem was that the con. from the brakeswitch going under the car, was disconected just next to the fueltank, the only place I could not see.
I put in a new cable from the fusepanel to the brakeswitch and tada.... Halleluja...Light.
But the other part of my question:
There are two con/wire/houst going from the Temp and the Pressure meter,(these round ones in my gallery) ending in the engineroom, and my engine is a 351cleavland
Where do I leave theme?

You should have a water temp sending unit located in the intake manifold near the radiator hose connection and an oil pressure sending unit down on the drivers side of the engine block near the front. At least that is where they are on a 302 and I imagine a 351 is similar. If you install new sending units be careful using teflon tape on the threads because that is how they are grounded and without a good ground they won't read properly.
