OK it's important we know this, and I didn't realize

Is this here what you have?

If it will start with power jumped as the diagram shows, AKA coil + then this should be simple

All you need to do is start at the key switch, look up the ORIGINAL car wiring diagram and identify the switch connections, then REGARDLESS of whatever color wire is used, trace the IGN1 and IGN2 out through the bulkhead wherever they go. They are also going to have to be connected to whatever is under the hood that needs "run" power, AKA VR power, alternator field, choke if used, and of course ignition system, and that means the coil +

If you do not have one by now, run over to MyMopar.com and download the two volumes for the 73 service manual. I believe it is Dodge.

This is the switch connector, right out of the 73 manual

S2-12Y is the yellow start wire, goes out through the bulkhead to the start relay one of two "push on" terminals

Q2-12BK is the ACC power is hot in ACC or "run"

J2-12DBL is the Dark BLue "run" wire, hot ONLY in run

J3-12BR is the BRown bypass wire.

(The above two you need to trace out into the engine bay and hook them together, and hook to the coil +. J3 is hot in "start" ONLY)

J1-12R is the Red hot feed providing power TO the switch

E2-18O is Orange dimmer controlled lighting for the shift quadrant

The bottom two, small Black, are for the "key in" buzzer and lighting

I think that's it, Del. It sure looks like the distributor he has. It's basically an MSD ready to run unit. Same type of wiring.

hey guys thank you so much for the all the help and knowledge. That is what I have progression ignition distributor; I called the company, they are going to look at all the specs I listed here and put their two cents in as well, but I am going to figure this out and I would report back with updates, by mechanic and friend is coming over this friday to give me a second set of eyes and he if the one who wired the new wiring harness that I got from classic industries, ie the specs I put up in the last post. Thanks again for all your help guys, much appreciated, I am learning day by day, but how else can I figure this out. Thanks again Gus and his green bastard aka Christine

Well I got to drive her to the gas station. We got still more work but ran a bypass to the battery for now. Brown wire has no power while cranking gonna have to chase the wire down. See if a fuse blew. Never fails but getting closer at least she starts. Sounded good. Feels good. She drove like a dream. Gave her a big drink of premium juice updates to follow
