55.2-59 1958 Apache Wiring advise

[elorenzof]

I have a 1958 Apache 1-ton with the straight six and original floor starter. I replaced wiring harnesses throughout, found proper ignition switch, proper headlight switch, got it all hooked up not hard just tedious. I have no power AT ALL not even headlights. Battery is testing at 12.5 volts. i did not replace the switch at the starter.

I suspect: On my starter wiring there is a Brown, Black and Violet wire. I found an old thread that said i would not need the violet wire so i taped it up. Is that my issue to why there is no power? Am i supposed to use the violet wire after all? I am not too good at this i apologize for the juvenile questions. Please see pics. I put all wiring into per my wiring harness instructions.
