Been there. It's a bad ground connection somewhere.

If you have a rag joint in the steering system make sure there is a jumper wire across it so you get proper ground connection to the top end of the steering column.

^^^ Maybe.
If the rears are working, then the rag joint is not the issue.
See post #2 for a start.

Had a similar problem with my son-in-law's 67 Chevelle after we installed an AAW kit. Like RD said, I'll bet it's a ground issue.
