*If* your lack of instruments, turn signals and fuel pump are connected, so
to speak, then you should look for a bad connector in the white circuit.
You may find that three whites come off the ignition switch - one for the
coil (via the tach), one for the ignition warning light, and one for
everything else. This last splits off at a four-way to feed the fuse box
(and hence the green circuit, instruments and turn signals) and the fuel
pump. As I think the wires are soldered to the ignition switch, I would
check the four-way.
On the other hand, they could be completely independant i.e. you have two
(or more!) co-incidental faults.
