Default Damn brake lights!!!

89 Mustang LX - full drivetrain swap (carburated)

Alright... this is driving me a little crazy

Every light (except for dash lights) on the car work including the tail lights but when I hit the brake pedal the brake lights don't come on. I've traced the wiring to check for a possible break (easy in a stripped out drag car) and replaced the bulbs and the switch on the pedal.

Anyone have any ideas?
