There is a pin diagram in Chapter 15 of the factory service manual.

The wiring is the same NA or TII.

As mentioned, grab your copy of the FSM or Haynes manual and look up the wiring diagrams. It is a dead simple installation. All you are doing is using the button to connect a 12V constant source to the starter solenoid wire. You'll be dealing with two wires at the ignition switch...

Starting buttons are handy...I keep debating whether to install one on my car and where to put it...

Mine has a mickey-ficked one because the start position on my keyswitch failed while I was out in the boonies. I actually hooked a jumper cable to my battery and reached under the car to poke the solenoid to start the car, and then drove to the nearest NAPA and bought some parts. Works so well that I never bothered fixing the keyswitch.

If you make a push button switch for starting, it's desireable that when it puts 12v on the starter solenoid, that at the same time puts 12v on the black/white wire shown in the attached jpg. You would do that so the ECU will see the Start signal when you go to Start.

Hailers I can't read these things for ****. Where is this said black white wire at and where does it go and where is the best place to hook it up. I would hate to have to hold the car to start with my left hand and then have to push the button with my right. I would rather leave it ON and then just push the button. Thanks-

The B/W wire from the blue plug went to the starter as well as the ECU.

EDIT: You also need to decide whether you want the clutch pedal to be depressed as part of the starting process or not.

If you require that a depressed clutch be part of the starting process you would replace the B/R wire that runs into the interlock switch, which is used to pass voltage through when the clutch pedal is depressed, with a wire that would feed into one end of your new start button and then the wire from the battery going into the other end/side of the start button.

EDIT: Disregard the statement I made about it being more involved. After looking at the wiring diagram the B/W wire which splits off to the ECU will allow the ECU to control the fuel pump upon startup so nothing else should be required, which is good!

So, getting back to the blue plug, I am assuming the wire from the ignition switch ( Black/Red wire) went directly to the blue plug, which if that were the case then the wire coming "out of your start button" would replace that wire.
