Default Ignition switch wiring help needed

Ignition switch wiring and steering column wiring help needed. I have an 86 steering column that I am wiring into a hot rod build. I don’t have any of connectors or wiring info that connect to the existing column connectors. So far I have figured out the high/low beam 3 pin toggle. I have identified the ignition switch connector and turn signal connector. I have looked at some wiring schematics on this site and dug around the internet with no success. I need to know which ignition blades (pins) are Acc, off, run and Start. I would like also like to find the 2 connector plugs for the ignition switch. I need to know what turn signal connector wires I need to use to get functional turn signals. Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks Steve

For a build there are many that offer pigtail kits OR actual harness and power distribution packages/harnesses. Painless offers a package that includes all with appropriate wiring colors and cavity identification. They offer also just connectors and terminals if you wanted to fabricate your own. A 30805 is pigtails and a 30806 is connectors and terminals for fabrication. The instruction diagram/package is the same for either. There's NOT an easier basic package for what you've asked.

Thanks for helping! I have the PSI harness. It covers basic engine, trans and running requirements. Everything else is mostly scratch build from a trashed donor 1986 Corvette except the engine and transmission.

Interesting build.

*** I would have thought PSI might have had a similar offering. Yours is going to be powered by? Dana 36 or 44 for a rear?
