The "wacky" dashboard could be a failing electrical section ignition switch. This could be causing the no start condition. Having spark doesn't mean it is in time, check cam timing and distributor timing, is it installed correctly and is the distributor rotor good? A common failure is a bad rotor.
check fuses ? if ok check for power at rear lights if no power trace wiring loom back from light clusters and make sure the earth wire is making a good contact to body ,if that appears ok check power out from light switch if ok check for lighting relay in fuse box
there is one inside the car. 3 possible places; under the glove box, under the steering wheel or if you open the driver side door the corner of the dashboard usually triangular piece of plastic to remove
Your park light fuse is blown. It is in the fuse panel that's accessible with the passenger side door open (side of dashboard), labeled something like "license plate and small lights".
Your question is a bit vague, but the first thing I would check is fuses. If they all are good, then there may be a wiring problem. It could stem from a broken wire, bad ground wire, or from a short circuit. To repair the system will require a wiring diagram, and 12 volt test light or multimeter. Reading the diagram, checking for power where the diagram says it should be and checking for ground where it should be. Note, when using a test light, to check for ground simply place the aligator clip on the positive battery cable instead of cliping it to the negative side or frame grounding.
After you have checked the fuseand the bulb connection, you may also want to check the brake switch located at top of the brake padel under the dashboard. Once you push the brake padel, the switch will trigger and the brake light will be on. Use simple 12 volt test pen or voltmeter to test the current supply. Enjoy it.
