Thanks, much appreciated. i've determined that the wiring has been modified [train wreck] and the diagram i have is almost useless. combine that with my inexperience and someone should put a tent over this circus!

I am doing my wiring right now on my 57. I got my wire harness from ez wiring. It looks to be good quality and the price is right. The wires are marked every 5 inches. Also they have good tech support. ezwiring.com

What Grinchman said is good. I saw one of these and they are pretty sweet. Like he said labels and such. It is probably the best option.
I am still looking at a few options. The old crap still "works" but I am working on other things first. It is also still hot as hell outside so this would be a winter project.

Update: tail issue resolved, seems like previous owner canceled tail lights for turn signals. can't have all three with two wires. [he put the "J" in genius]. the ezwire kit is on order and will be a winter project. thanks for the suggestion.

Might be brake light power switch. Check voltage thru pink wire with ground. If no voltage, jumper the two connections on brake light switch and check voltage on pink wire again. Will at least tell you if it is the brake light source power
