Not exactly, ignition switched circuits are fed by white wires, but
ignition switched AND fused circuits should be fed by green wires. Err,
this may be what you just said, but it could be read a few ways.
So, there should be brown going to the ign switch, white off the ign switch
going to (a) ignition system coil, tach, etc and (b) the fuse block where
it turns into green to feed things like the heater fan, wipers and turn
signals.
Although who knows, maybe the 77 is different. Sounds like you have the
problem figured out, at any rate.

I'm not aware of any relays in the B's electrics, it may have been added
by someone. But again, I'm no expert with the later electrical system.
Good luck!
