Need help wiring ignition switch-photos - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am just about finished up doing my 6.0 swap in my 1970 C-10. I am in need of help wiring up the ignition switch. I have attached a picture of the back side of the switch an of the wires I am working with along with their labels. Any help to get it going would be great.

Wires
Pink-IGN Empty
Yellow with black stripe-cranking signal
Orange-battery empty
Pink with black stripe-12V switched
Black-ground

If someone could tell me which wires go where on the switch that would help me a lot.

Do you have the rest of the factory harness? Or are you trying to wire from scratch? Or are you trying to hook the original switch to an aftermarket harness?

This is a reworked factory harness. Everything I the engine compartment is hooked up. All that is left is hooking up the battery and ignition switch.

So you're just hooking up the 6.0 harness? If that's the case, just hook the ignition relay power to the wire that originally went to the distributor and the battery power to a constant power source.
