I ended up taking out the terminals, reinserting in the proper harmonica and plugging back in. I checked the power on both sides of the connectors by touching a lead to the terminal from the back side of the connectors, and I had power for every cable, so it just wasn’t adding up that power was getting to the front but not the back. The only other connector I hadn’t checked was my fuse block at the firewall. So I unplugged, reseated, and sniffed down good and tight and voila! Everything working now. Man I am going to be happy to be done with electrical work.
Thanks for all the help and suggestions!!

Glad to hear you were able to get all the lights working. For future reference, did you remove the fuse block under the drivers dash panel, or was the connector in the engine compartment? I am sure my 73 will eventually need attention.

I had replaced both the dash harness with the actual fuse block, as well as the forward light and engine harnesses. The actual fuse block was well-positioned, but my connectors in the engine bay were not. I simply pulled those connectors, reseated, and made sure the lug bolt was fastened good and snug. It might have been that I did not tighten up everything well enough when I first connected, allowing my headlamps to have a good connection but not my parking or marker lights.
