They gave me a connector with two blue/red wires for the safety neutral switch, but there are four prongs. What are the colors of the other two wires? Also, are the wires to the stop light switch green and green with red stripe? Finally, when I turn the key on the switch, which is dangling down right now, the engine fires, but when I turn lose of the key, the engine quits. Could this be because the switch is not grounded to the dash? The resister wire is brand new. Please help

Sounds like you have multiple issues here, most of them difficult to diagnose from a distance. The Osborn manuals--with a strong magnifying glass--will give the the proper wire colors. (Assuming the new kit follows factory spec, which may not be the case.)
I can't speak to the NSS, as my 64 may be wired differently from yours, but when I rewired a 62 F-100 a while back, I had two wires reversed on the ignition switch and experienced the same condition you've got. Were it me, I'd be on the phone with the manufacturer asking for advice and possibly a refund.
