If it is a 70 with the modular plug you can't plug the lights in wrong in back. Even with the bullet connectors you can't reverse sides. You can mix up stop and turn filament with the tail.
There are two plugs at the firewall. A 2 pin and a 3 pin. The 3 pin has the lights.
66 stroker, almost done.
67 basket case, paint coming soon.
On further consideration and knowing i didn't touch the back (and as Curtis pointed out - you can't mess them up anyway ) I 'cleaned' the plug at the ignitionswitch - therein probably lies the problem - should be fun to sort out - thought I had been careful - but most likely not - will advise when fixed.

Did you take the connectors out of the plug?

Rainy days and boredom are leading me to install my comp oil pan... Question: I purchased the blue “competition†gasket for it a while back - would that be a “dry†gasket I assume? I’m thinking it was designed as such because racers would be apt to reuse it over and over, but I may be wrong...again.
see two posts below ...

I glued mine with contact cement to the block, then a dose of white lithium grease to the pan side.
A roadster Yoda gave this tip which allows for a reusable pan gasket. of course this is not so easy with the engine installed ....
I guess you could use pan bolts and washers to hold the gasket to the block while the contact cement dries.

Thanks.
That was a major brain fart on my part.

I disconnected the five(?)of 6 connector that goes into the ignition to clean etc. Thought that I had 'carefully' marked a=a etc. but presumably I made a mistake.
Busy this afternoon, but with again studying your amazing blown up diagram, will find out which is left and which is right. That area is the only one I KNOW that is messed with. Logically that is where it is (for now). Will pursue -
thanks for interest - will report. <g>
