I posted this on the corral:

Does someone have a harness laying around that I could look at, or you could look at it and tell me how the ignition sw and the clutch sw are connected? I need to get my car running tonight!

Thanks,

It did this imtermittently about a year ago, and then was fine for a whole year, then about two days ago it just wouldn't start. I haven't done any mods or anything recently.
As far as I can tell, the clutch sw is in working order, the ign switch works, I just am not getting current between the two is all. Perhaps the wht/pk wire from the ign sw is ground out somewhere, or wherever it connects to the pk/blue wire, maybe that connection is poor. I will trace it more tonight, but it sure would be nice to look at a harness out of the car. May just have to stop by a junkyard or something.

Yeah I've got fuel pump, dummy lights, etc. I'm sure it's just the ignition wire is ground out somewhere, the car does have 192k miles on it. I'm gonna bypass it tonight and see what that does. I'm sure I'll get it figured out.
