After about 16 hours on the car yesterday I finally started making too many stupid mistakes and had to call it a night about 2:30 a.m.
This was right after I had went to put the heater leveler in and realized I put the cables in without it. So I pulled the cable out hooked it up to the heater put them back in and then realized I had the heater lever backwards (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

So the normal fuel pump on this carbureted engine has too much pressure. The pump that works best for it is not plumbed to work correctly with the access door that we put in for under the tank. So super in law went to town and fabricated me up a bracket. This guy is awesome

Fuel tank is in but isn't quite sitting down far enough to where I can get the straps together (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) think I got a fiddle with the position of the blocks to get it down all the way.
Anyway at this point everybody's gone home for the night I came home to actually eat some dinner with Shannon so she can remember who I am. None of this would be possible for me without her support (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif)
Now I'm going to head back over and work into the wee hours of the morning again trying to get this thing wrapped up hopefully in the morning we can track down why the lights are not coming on on the dash and or not getting power to important things like the fuel pump. Wish me luck.

Sweet I love multiple choice (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) why are there three wires for two plugs on the driver side license plate light?

Matt: You should have one brown wire (ground) and one grey with a brown stripe wire at each light.
So your situation is pretty wack.
The power is coming in on the gray wires, so tape off if you have an extra one.
I found some weird things on my NOS 71 wiring harness when I went through it.
I think Hans had a few too many Warsteiner's when he assembled my harness the next day at the Porsche electrical department.
A few of the wires were mis-located in my ignition/steering wheel 14 pin connector and he had forgotten to run a ground wire to the gauges. It was added on on top of the wire wrapping of the main harness.
Looks like anything is possible.

As to your starting issue.
Make sure the black wire in the 14 pin connector at the engine relay panel is getting power when your key is in the run position.
On my car it's pin #8...not sure about yours.
If no power, work your way back to your ignition switch.
There is another 14 pin connector under the dash that the ignition switch/steering column hooks into.
The pin that supplies this black wire should be getting power with the key in the run position.
Obviously the ignition switch itself is getting power as your starter cranks.
Could be a bad ignition switch if the switch isn't delivering power out to the run circuit.

Figured out why the oil light wouldn't come on bulb was out even though it didn't look like it. Still can't get the fuel pump to come on with the key. Replaced the three bad relays on the board. Jumped power to the pump so we know it works. Now we're looking into the relay board itself even though it looks perfect. Any suggestions?

You could have a break in one (or more) of the copper traces on the backside of the board.
Or a problem with one of the wires coming into relay board via the 14 pin connector.
Sounds like you've ruled out the relays.
How do you know if your replacement relays are any good?
Did you pull one from a headlight motor that you know is working?

See attached diagram.
When you turn the key, you should get power at pin 86...and better have power at pin 30 as well.
A functioning relay will send the power from pin 30 out pin 87 to your fuel pump.
Some things you can check.

1) You should always have continuity from pin 87 to your fuel pump.
If not, there is something wrong with either the trace on the backside of the board from pin 87 to the 14 pin connector (possible) or a problem with the wire from the 14 pin connector to the fuel pump (unlikely).
2) You might not be getting power to pin 86.
Either a problem again with a broken trace on the backside of the board from pin 86 to the 14 pin connector or a problem from the 14 pin connector back to your ignition switch, the black wire.

Again with the key in the run position, you better have power at both pin 86 and pin 30 in the fuel relay socket.
If you do, you can narrow it down to either still a bad relay or a problem with the current path to the fuel pump (either a trace on the backside of the relay board or the wiring from the 14 pin connector to the fuel pump).

To check out the relay board you need a multimeter and the wiring/circuit diagram for the board.
Not sure if the above is good for your board? but it might be.

You go check every pin on both the 14 and 12 pin connectors with their "destinations."
You should have good continuity on everyone.
If you don't, you likely have a broken connection between a trace and a pin on the backside of the board.
This will require removing the potting, re-soldering the break and then re-potting the entire backside when complete.

I had 2 such issues on my 914-6 relay board.
