All the '67 wiring diagrams are posted on the DOWNLOADS page, and should be virtually identical to the '68s.

Sounds like the brake circuit is engerizing the running light circuit and feeding back to the dash. Look for broken insulation at the rear since you work there. Which dash lights are coming on?
