Please help I’m Stuck It’s been 5 months

Ramcharger - I watched your videos and you have a lot going on there. Part of your frustration is that you don't know what you don't know; every guy here has been there as none of us were born with Mopar/car knowledge, so do not get too overwhelmed by it, it will come.

Having said that, let's begin with some basic stuff; first off the color of the wire/s has no bearing on where they go, what they do or if they are working. I that last video you talked a lot about the colors matching or not, does not matter really, what does matter is if the wires are correctly connected to the things they are supposed to connect to. In other words, each wire has a function, it is supposed to go to another wire to do something.

I am going to agree with the others and say that I think you have a safety neutral switch issue. Given this is a stick car, originally it would have been wired so that the car would not attempt to start unless the clutch was depressed or in neutral. Given the mess you got going on there I am going to guess that someone by passed this with the button instead of fixing it or bypassing the switch itself.

That big red wire coming from the ignition switch is your main power, it connects to another big wire that in the video almost looks pink (but was originally red). You can see a hole in the connector where it at one point probably got hot and melted (very common with old Mopars) and when you showed the inside of the connector, the old side (female) looks a bit ratty and while I think it is connecting, it doesn't look all that good.

The vehicle starting and running is in my opinion not connected with this switch issue, it is most likely a problem with the fuel; specifically the carburetor most likely needs a rebuild and the fuel pump is probably weak. You have no idea how much flow you are getting through the line so this could be an issue too. At the end of the fuel inside the tank there is what is called a fuel pickup (fancy way of saying the end that sucks the fuel). On this end there is what is called a "sock" (again, fancy way of saying a screen). These can and do get blocked, plugged etc. Additionally, there is no telling what is in the bottom of the tank sloshing around. Point here is that the starting and running issue is IMO not connected with the switch issue.

BTW, you do not need to hold the key forward when pushing the button, when the key is on it is allowing electricity/power to the ignition system (notice I did not say starting system), when you push the button you are initiating the starting system (i.e. starter).

You really need to do some research on basic electrical issues, I am not saying this in a condescending way or saying anything bad, I am saying that there is a ton of information online (youtube) to give you some information that will help you. Yes, practical exercise and using this forum are awesome, but as you can see, on forums you get a wide range of opinions and answers most of which are based on the idea that you are familiar with the principles and concepts of working on a car. Given that you were not aware that there is a difference between "cranking" and "running" gives me the idea that working on cars is something relatively new to you. This is not a dig nor am I saying anything against you at all, we all had to start some place and the members here will be more than willing to help you, however we as car guys all share common terminology, concepts and principles so we are able to communicate effectively and we want to help you get that beast on to the road.

So, with all this said, to get the issue of the ignition switch issue resolved (assuming that is where you want to go) you are going to need a test light, something that you can check to see if power is coming through a wire or not. Then you are going to have review the wiring diagram to determine what wire goes where. You also need an understanding of how that wire works, what I mean that some systems (many of them) work under a set of conditions, point in case a safety neutral switch. When you turn the key, there is power going to the starter relay, however inside of that there is a switch which does not let the power to pass to the starter UNTIL the switch is energized and/or grounded. Many people locate the safety neutral terminal on the starter relay and simply ground it out (meaning run a wire from the terminal to the screw holding the relay onto the inner fender). I suspect if you did that your ignition switch might actually work (might not, but worth a try).

If on the other hand you could live with the push button switch and just want it to start, then you need to focus on the fuel system to start, probably need to look at the plugs, wires, distributor can and rotor as well. Remember, everything in a car is a "system", it functions along with other systems to arrive at a running and driving vehicle.

Enough for now and sorry for the rant.
