Default Push Start Button

Hey,
I have a 1980 Corvette and i almost finished restoring and repairing everything,
still need one tip from you corvette experts
i want to install a push start button and i just need one thing
the color of the wires that are being attached together when you turn the key to start the car,
the second turn i mean that actually starts the engine not the power only.

forgive my english as it is my second language.

thanks

I am interested in this. Once you finish installing the push button start, please post how it went. Which product did you use, how difficult, instructions and tips. The more information the better. Pictures are always nice too. Thanks and good luck.

The wire that actually goes to the starter solenoid is purple.
