Okay guys here's a new one for you. I have a tilt column in my 38 with the standard lock-on-start switch. I would like to bypass the start function of the switch and install a push button start switch on the dash (don't ask why, it's just something I want to do.) Anyone ever done this or any ideas on how to do it?
Thanks, Don

Take the purple wire from column switch, run it to one side of push button. You then need to run a hot wire to the other side of push button switch. The purple wire delivers power to the starter solenoid from the switch.

Thanks Oehm Jr.'s for the reply. The hot wire to the other side of switch is just any 12V wire that is hot all the time? Thanks, Don

Yes. Use like a #14 or larger wire.
