can't figure out marlin settings for wilsonII printer

Hi all, I recently retired and had a project from a few years ago started, a Wilson II 3d printer by Marty Rice. Files are still on github. This printer is 200 x 300 and uses a rack and pinion setup to move a switch into position to level the bed. The x axis is supposed to move left to extend the arm and then move right to retract the arm. I assembled the printer and searched forever for firmware for it. I got a copy from githubs page for the printer but I have other issues now. I can use repetier to move the axis in the correct directions, but when I try to home any axis all that happens is the z axis moves up until I cut power. I have the reprapdiscount smart controller and the lcd says homeswitch hit when I manually actuate the switches so I assume they are wired correct. The configuration.h only has a choice for ramps1.3 and I have a ramps 1.4, could this be the problem? I am no good at adding code to marlin and am lost. Can anyone here try to help me get this machine working?
I am attaching the config.h file.

BOARD_RAMPS_13_EFB and BOARD_RAMPS_14_EFB only differ in the servo pin, so no that is not the issue

Great, thanks. One thing I failed to mention is that if the print head is not in the home position when I turn it on, it says that is 0,0,0. I can move positive, but then only back negative to that point. It is the same for all axis.

That is normal.

Until you home the axis it thinks power on position is home.
