They say it works with some changes to the wiring, as there are less terminals that there where on the original. Also, I found the tail and brake light fuses on the firewall, but i have no headlights, park, etc. Is there another fuse block somewhere?

If the "universal" did not come with installation instructions and/or letter-labels near attachment screws, you might want to contact the seller to ask if they have information.
Here is the wiring for the original switch.

Here is a 1954 wiring diagram that should show you the wire colors for the different circuits that are wired through the light switch.

It looks like most of the circuits that go through the light switch are protected by a circuit breaker inside the light switch.

The 216 and early 235 engines are not "splash oilers" -- this is a splash oiler.
