Well, I did install the push button start switch (momentary on), the flip type Military Guarded ignition switch and a small green with chrome bezel ignition on light (light on with ignition is on).

This worked out very well. What I did was to use a small Xacto blade knife to cut a small X in the black dashboard covering and then inserted the drill bit thru the X so as not to spin the dash covering material.

I have my starter button switch set up so that if I push it with the ignition switch off, the starter does turn over the engine and thus pre lubes the engine.

I used the existing key switch hole for the starter button. This worked out well. So only two holes needed to be drilled.

I was very very aprehensive when I did the first test. Being color blind or challenged, I was just hoping that I got all the codes right on the wires. Had my son check the colors for me too.

Thanks to all who helped with suggestions and also thanks to Bob Putnam for the real nice wiring diagram.

To be honest, Bob really does do Yoeman's work in helping us all out with data and details after the ERA sale is complete. Thanks Again.
