Ign switch questions

I want to go with an original push "button" start on the 55, but electrical is NOT my strong suit. I have the original switch that was checked out by a company here in town and it is "in good working order."

The switch has ONLY 2 positions. OFF, and turn one click right and it is ON. That is it. In the ON position it must have powered up everything, and so what I need is a tutorial on what the connectors went to.

I can see BAT on the switch, and that is where I hook the battery feed to the switch, but it has two connectors on that label, and I don't think I should hook up two battery feeds, so what does the other side go to? Ok, I did hook up power to the rt side of the BAT, but without a jumper, nothing else is hot.

There is a group of 5 connectors at the top of the picture, all are connected to one another, with the first one labeled IGN 1 and the other 4 labeled ACC. IGN 1, what does it go? The ACC will provide switch on power to whatever else I want, but that first one is a mystery to me.

The connector directly to the left of the BAT is START. With the key on, it is not hot. What does it connect to?

Above that one is IGN2, not hot with the key on either.

With power to BAT, and a jumper from BAT to IGN2, switch on provides power to the IGN1/ACC and START. I figured that out, but don't know if it is right or how the push button start is supposed to be hooked up, or which pin.

Ok, it is Sunday, and I have spent about 3 hours searching the internet and I haven't found a decent explanation yet.

Does anyone know?

Thanks.
