Alright, I just had a revelation that hopefully will lead me to the issue. My inexperience and bad eyesight led me to believe that the HAZARD and the TURN fuse shared a power source (12v red wire). Doing some more digging and unhooking with the purple jumper wire led me to realize that only the HAZARD is fed by 12V red wire. The left side of the TURN fuse is actually open but it runs on a line that has 2 Pink Ignition Feed wires.

One P.I.F. wire runs directly to the ignition terminal of the ignition switch and the other runs to the ignition side of the distributor (HEI in this case). They look to be hooked up correctly according to the AAW instructions and independent sources. So now I'll start testing those wires and see what I come up with.
