Re: Brake light
Ditto peglegs. If you haven't already done so, replace it. The 40 + year old wires my look fine on the outside but the wires will break and separate. This will have you pullin your hair out. Fix it once and you're good for another 50 years.

Re: Brake light
Try playing around with the turn signal with your foot on the brake. I had the same problem and fixed it by spaying electrical contact cleaner into the hole on the stearing column. I'll probably have to replace the switch eventually.

Re: Brake light
run a ground from the socket to the frame// if left brake light works fine there is nothing wrong with your firewall plug
you can also try a new light bulb
