I pulled out the dash of my ’65 Midget to prepare for rewiring and to have my son build me a new wooden dash (I hope--high school wood shop), when I realized that I didn’t pay attention to how the switch was wired. I reinstalled the switch so I could start the car but I cannot get power to the “1” accessories setting. If I crank it all the way to start position the car starts, but the starter continues to crank as well. If I let the spring take me back the the 1 setting the engine dies. Does anyone have a diagram of how I should wire the back of the ignition switch?

Thanks!

Never mind, I figured it out. 8-) Tried a bunch of permutations and got the thing to work. :)
