One more electrical demon.....

Got another crack at it last night and I now have my speedo lit and my high beam indicator. Last one to fix is my right turn signal indicator which does not light up at all. The friggin bulb sockets I bought are junk and the 46 year old ones work. I don't have enough of them so I will have to pick up a few. I'll try here and place a wanted add.

So can I guess you purchased the bulb sockets thru Ebay? Cheap too right? To define "cheap"...
NAPA stores have or did have these socket in the Echlin brand. One socket in each box at about 4 dollars each. We have to think they are industrial or aircraft grade.
I wont go into all my bad experiences with poor quality purchases at Ebay. There's not enough internet to hold it all. I'll just say that the very recent 96 Camry oil pump fiasco was my very hard and final lesson learned. Going forward, every time I save on labor I will invest in premium quality parts.
