UPDATE
First of all, I'd like to thank all of you guys for trying to help me out. THANK YOU.
I spent an hous on the phone with American Auto Wire today. We managed to get most of it figured out, now all I need is some time tongith after the Red Wing game to figure the rest out.
The Ford headlight switch must be grounded. The switch in the kit wasn't. To stick it in a Ford plastic dash, or the aluminum dash that I fabricated doesn't allow the switch to ground. Once I grounded the switch, I had courtesy light (gm), turn signals, 4 way flashers, brake lights and tail lights. I still have a weak left rear tail light, but will work on that tomorrow. The right front turnsignal isn't working, but that might be a bulb. Will check that when I get a chance. Everything was wired right except for the ground at the headlight switch.
Thanks again for all the ideas.
