Top wire on right side is for 12 volts from the BAT on the ignition switch,the terminal under that is taillights. Moving to the left side the terminal at the top goes to the brake switch, middle terminal is parking lights,bottom terminal goes to the dimmer switch. The terminal next to the white block is the rheostat terminal for the dash lights.
More from Rebel Wire: The 50's switch only has one battery terminal and the 9+3 kit only has one battery wire for the headlight switch. So the yellow headlight power wire goes to the "B" terminal of the switch,the larger circuits kits have the two wires (GM and late Fords) should you require a second wire just add a jumper wire off the BAT terminal.Shown in the picture here: https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum...ne-daily-driver.1027219/page-18#post-12641103 Post # 525
