If I had known I would live this long I would have pushed the envelope a little harder.

Joe's book lists the following
Term # 30 One red from fuse box 6 volt common on fuses 2,3,and 4
50 is black to starter
54 is yellow to radio and auxiliary supplies
15 has black to fuse 1 and
black/white to coil and
blue/yellow to instruments (combo gauge power)

Thank you gents, problem solved and everything reconnected! The ground socket in the ignition switch was worn to a point where there was no good contact.
