Default power window wiring questions?

hey all,

I was hoping someone had a wiring diagram for the power windows in a '69 handy. Specifically how do i wire in a regulator? Right now I have straight lines running from 12 volt source to the switches, then from the switches straight to the motors. what some of you would call "bubba's power window wiring harness" but hey, it works... sort of.
any help would be greatly appreciated.

I just converted a 70 to PW. You need to put in a relay, one wire to the relay is connected to the horn relay with an inline 30 AMP fuse, and the other wire is hooked up to the IGN or ACC terminal on the fusebox.
Or buy a repro PW harness.
Good luck.
