starter relay-clutch safety switch

It has been many years since I had to go inside a column to deal with ign switch!! Most all the cars I have had last 20 odd years were pre "70!!

This car had started every time while I was working on the brakes/body, but lately it developed this starting problem. Another question, is the yellow wire off starter relay only hot with I engage ign switch to start (ign 2) OR is it hot all the time sending current up to the ign switch???

Does any of these Ign 1 wires have anything to do with the 4 wire splice? or feeding back into charging system? The car has run excellent, but since this starting problem began, it off and on has a miss and the volts will not be constant every time I start it.
Been about 7 weeks out from my triple bypass and I have trying to not have to stand on m head trying to check out wiring problems!! ha
