HELP! Ignition switch panel install
Ok, So I am far from wiring savvy and could use some help with what could possibly be a simple answer. Basically, my car (1990 rx7 vert T2) is strictly a track car. stripped, caged, etc etc. Its always just been a stock car with a cage, but I am making it a bit more serious/simple. With that said, I am installing a quikcar fused ignition panel. I will be keeping the ignition lock so the key will be needed to unlock the column, however I just want the switch panel to be the primary source of power for the car. (starter, ignition, fans, lights, etc) The panel has power, and is running my fans fine, but I cant seem to get the main ignition to function correctly. Ive studied the FSM's diagram of the wiring, but honestly, I have a hard time reading, and understanding that stuff. Can someone put this into elementary terms for me? What wires, need to go where, so I can flick a switch, and all the lights, fuel, ignition come one at once, as if the key is in the 2nd position. The starter wire is no big deal, just need all the accessories, and such to be on one main switch. Sorry in advance for being a noob to all this, and thanks for the advice!
This dingus somehow got his setup to work exactly how Id like mine to function for reference.

i would imagine there is some sort of main relay to the car. you'll want to hook up your switch to the coil side of that relay, which is essentially a switch to turn the relay on. that way you're effectively replacing the ignition key being turned to ON.
