Help please. For a 70 charger I need to know the purpose or routing of each wire at the steering column plug. Wiring in aftermarket fuze block and sorting out a couple issues.thanks

Pardon me but my karma just ran over your dogma.

Thanks John, but my problem is knowing what the purpose of the wire is.

You can't follow each wire from the switch and see what component it leads to?

key in buzzer 18ga red x2      turns on buzzer if key is in with car off (This would be tricky to wire in aftermarket wiring, requires original factory diode setup.) 
indicator lamp 18ga orange    comes from dash lights on with cluster
main power feed into switch 12ga red  comes from main feed in junction by ALT gauge
ignition start 14ga brown    goes to coil, bypassing inline resister
ignition run  16ga dark blue goes to resister then on to coil
accessory    12ga black        feeds things that turn on when car is running
starter          18ga yellow     goes to starter control relay to engage engine cranking
