hey guys new here, have exhausted all other resources hoping you fellers can help

84 fox 351w swapped, was auto swapped to T5 had to bypass neutral switch so i ran a push button ( button to battery, starter to button) works fine, also have h.e.i distributer run to toggle switch ( battery to switch, switch to dizzy) works fine. removed duraspark icm completely.

i have no dash lights and headlights are very dim and actually get dimmer when i give it fuel.... when i turn the key i have no power to any accessories, am assuming i have to find an appropriate power source and splice into it in order for my key to have "power".
horrible with electrical so hoping someone can give me a hand here. also aware my dashlights and headlights are going to be seperate issues
