The other side of the button needs to be hooked to an ignition switched 12v source.

I'd slip the Packard 56 terminal out of the safety switch and tape over it. Then add a new wire and Packard 56 terminal that reaches the button. That way you can reverse it without too much trouble.

I remember reading about a fellow that used a magnetic switch mounted to the back of the knee panel to interrupt the yellow wire. The start position on the ignition switch start position didn't work without a magnet stuck on the knee panel in the right location.
If I understand this correctly, the yellow 3 YEL-5 in the wiring diagram (Marked SOL on the switch). will only get power when I turn the key to start correct? So I can not run from this tab to my push button, I need 12V switch power correct? Thanks, took a little bit, but I think I understand now. I am dangerous around schematics
