Forget my last post. 3 in the morning and my brain had shut down. I'm wiring it all up. Now. I got a 12 volt switch

Ok I got her running. I ran 10 g wire to the red power. Then I ran a in line fuse to the toggle and then went to green. She fired right up. I'm going to run a relay for safety this week but my old boss who races civics or civshits as I like to call them said the 10 g and fuse would be fine for now. I'm going to take pictures and do a write up on the procedure when I get the cylinder housing. I was going to take pics but my camera won't work. Thanks for the help. I bought a 12 v toggle switch with a safety latch. I put my push button starter by the headlight switch and the toggle right under it. Looks cool. Also my warning lights go through the same green wire so I won't forget to cut off the fuel. All in all I'm happy with it. I also saved $240 dollars. Anybody down the road have questions email me at Fitsole@live.com and I'll help you out.

Thanks Dave. You helped a lot. I also appreciate your info Tim. I wish that was the problem. My shaft is broken behind the tumbler.

No problem, glad you got her running again. I honestly didn't think it'd be that easy; glad you pioneered the mod. Now all you need is a latching transceiver with a wireless key fob, LOL.

If I happen across a steering lock I'll be sure to PM you, but it looks like you won't be needing one.
