Take the switches or headlights apart? Thanks for the help.

Its a 74 with a five speed, rust in the typical places for a seventies car, Early model (got lucky) model, in need of some fiberglass minor bodywork, new seats or upholstered seats and dash ON TOP OF ALL THAT THE CAR IS NOT RUNNING I bought it with no battery and it had no fuses (?) After putting a battery and the fuses I turned the key, wouldn't start then I found a kill switch, the kill switch almost turned it on finally after some more looking around I noticed the distributor is missing the electrical stuff inside (its not points) Made sense because the engine would turn but no spark to turn it on. I also found an after market universal ignition system coil in the car. Could that old coil have messed up the distributor? O yeah, I dunno if it was due to me draining the battery but only one light works, the brake light, ALL OTHER LIGHTS DO NOT. By wednesday I'm ordering a distributor from autozone only for the lifetime warranty. Anyone have any input on my dilema?
