Hey guys, I'm wiring up the ignition and I was wondering is the back bolt that comes out [of the ignition] where the current flows when it [the ignition] is in the accessory position?

Uhh....what? Try some punctuation and a little better grammar so we can understand the question.

I think he is talking about the stud that sticks out on the back of the ignition switch. The answer to that question is yes.

Way to go Rusty!! I actually understood the question after reading your answer. So, what foreign languages did you take in school that allowed you to interpret that?

Sorry, I was typing with one hand =\ and school's been out for a while.

Thanks.

So the final wiring, Sorry it might be kinda confusing, its in ez wiring terms.
I was able to find a 9v battery and a multimeter, I knew that the yellow one was supposed to go to the battery, so i connected to it, turned the key to the cranking position and found that both of the other wires were receiving current so i connected (ign sw start) the purple one to that. the single wire that received power with the on position i connected (Ign Sw Ign), the brown and the pink, (ign switch coi)l. And for the accessory wire the orange I found out that the back of the ignition has a bolt coming out in which when the key is in the accessory position it gives current to, So, I connected the orange to the back. Is that wiring correct?

I went to public high school in southern California so I basically understand every language/English mixture but its not from taking classes, its just from being in school with the whole damn world 5 days a week =P

Give him a brake, it was no where near the worst I've seen posted on this board lol.
