    Anybody got a diagram how to wire the 33 original switch. Going to use modern fuse box GM style fuse box a colors. My guess is to run power from solenoid ( batt wire) to switch then to GM style fuse.box Then purple wire GM color to push ****on then to solenoid. ??? Anyone
    Thanks

    I ran the battery wire to one side and the other triggers a 75 amp Bosch relay that when triggered powers the fuse box. I did this to keep the switch load low. Yes, purple wire to push ****on.

    You don't want the full amps of that fuse panel drawing through the switch, hence the relay. I would actually run power directly from the battery through a 100A or so fuse to the fuse panel and use the switch to trigger the IGN circuit on the panel via a relay to turn everything on. Just like you would on a regular IGN switch, only through the relay. You won't have and ACC circuit is all. Then you'll start the car with a push ****on, I'd run that through a relay as well, just to be safe and keep the load through the switches low.
