Calling the wiring experts..., We love P.O.'s questionable wiring skills... Options

Hey guys,

Been going through the list of small jobs on the car and just crossed off fixing the odometer... lesson - I don't like small gears (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Anyway, after reinstalling the cluster I accidentally hit the turn signal stalk and noticed that ALL the lights on the right side lit up and when switched the other way ALL the left side lights lit up as well. After further investigation it appears that the car is basically in "accessory" while the ignition is in the off position. The radio will turn on, and basic lights will work, but the headlights, and other electronics will not work (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Also, the turn signals will hold a steady illumination and not blink. When the key is inserted and turned halfway between the "off" and "accessory" position though, the car will have no power as it's supposed to in the off position. At some point in the past the P.O. swapped the entire steering column and ignition assembly. The ignition does not appear to be the same as the original however... is there an early/late model column? Any guidance on the back ignition pins and their purpose would be helpful. Everything electrical works as it should when the car is running by the way.

Thanks.
