If you're hell bent on hot wiring it red is battery, pink is ignition, and purple is start

Just buy and replace the lock cylinder. The ignition key does not match the doors and trunk anyway. It might actually be cheaper to replace it than have it re-keyed.
That was the original plan. they are only 12 bucks. but I already had this cool little switch panel with three switches a master switch and a push button. I def wasn't going to pay to have it rekeyed. ive been watching videos on how to re tumble door locks and ignitions.
oh yeah and p.s your avatar makes me happy every time I see it. I love wagons.
I re-keyed the ignition in my 79 Malibu in about 50 minutes. It would have been faster but I had never done one before.

the switch panel I have has four switches so I was going to hook them up with a pattern. luckily I really only drive to work and home. my home is back in a flag lot and is safe, and I park in a gated parking lot at work.
the videos I watched, it didn't look all that hard just time consuming and kinda tedious.
Thank you sir,
I'm glad to hear that my Avatar brightens your day. You'll have to show us what your switch panel looks like when you get it installed.
So between the last two weekends the lemange now runs. My neighbor and I got it started yesterday. It started right up and idled really nice. no misses, blurbs, ticking, or knocking. It does seem to be running really rich, and has a really bad hesitation off idle. I'm going to get a new carb for it. I am unsure on what size to get, its a 305 with intake headers and maybe a cam. the guy says he couldn't remember if he put one in it or not.
I think the carb that's on it now is a holly four barrel that's over 600cfm.

I wish three pedals, maybe someday. it was originally a manual six cyl. the guy I got it from put a 305 th350.
