Bypassing the ignition switch
I brought home my parts truck yesterday and have not spent any time with it to speak of. However, I am seeing the ignition/key insert laying on the floor and the wiring under the the dash pretty messed up.
For the purpose of starting and running the engine, can you advise as to a simple way to bypass the ignition switch in the dash. I do have a a remote starter that might be useful.

Dose the solinoid on the fender well have a wire going to th I stud on it?
If so put power to it, short from battery +to the S stud using the starter switch and you should be good.
To stop just pull the wire off the I stud and motor will shut down.

I won't want to waste my spare factory cylinder on it.
Just want to make it where it is easy to crank while working on the engine.
Seen under the ignition switch is some of the hacked wiring.

In that case, I'd second what FuzzFace said
