Through the turn signal switch, of course <g>.

Turn signals were optional back then and are covered in the accessory 
manual.

Keyed power to the brake switch.

White to the turn signal switch

Keyed hot to flasher

Yellow from flasher to turn signal switch

>From the turn signal switch,

Pink to left rear

Purple to right rear

Light blue to left front and dash indicator

Dark blue to right front and dash indicator

The high intensity filament front and back is the turn signals, the 
low intensity filament is the parking and tail lights.

Hope this helps,
