Today, 

I went out to again to try to get my brake lights to work..

Anyway  Today my park lights were working(i didnt do anything)... MY brake lights still didnt work...
I then used power from the red power in and ran a jumper wire straight to the pink(brake stop lights) and then they worked..
I tried to use a jumper wire to get the Turn signals to work but nothing..  Tomorrow i will buy a new T/S relay just in case.
If i wasnt leaving America in less then a month i would just rewire the car. Having a seriously upgraded stereo and alarm arent helping my problem either.. however they still work
I found out my wipers work today also...   So maybe my new/used isn't good either.. maybe it has been "zinged". My Alternator light is also on. But the alternator was only bought two days ago.... Tomorrow i will venture to the autostore so they can run a test...

   The only good news i was able to drive for over 15 minutes without frying an ignition module... I had to add a ballast resistor,  i never needed one before, I have been using the same coil p/n for years... but for some reason i need one now.  I am hoping my car will make it to work tomorrow..   I am ready to get all my V8 parts off this thing and sell it... Its really nerve racking to have it poo out on me after 20 + years....
