Wiring a ignition switch with push button starter

Okay gang, I received this e-mail from Jeff who was surfing the web for three days before he found us. I need some help here. Without looking at the schemicatics I really can't help much. Hopefully someone has dones this type of modification. Here is the e-mail
Hey .. i seen your truck while surfing for pics of trucks like mine last year.. i just today stumbled on this web page forum.. im looking for info on how to install a after market on/off/acc key ignition switch and a push button starter in my fabracated sheet metal dash .. and the reason im not using stock column switch is i went to after market race column .. im stuck though and dont know what wires are what i decided to look for forums on this topic and for 3 days now have had no luck .. i know what wires are the starter /yellow, ignition/pink batt+/red (theres 2 of these) and acc/brown going into the stock ignition switch..but.. always the dreaded but .. heh there are 2 orange going into one connection and one smaller wire that is a 2 color wire that i have no idea what to do with them.. the back of my after market switch has 4 poles to hook wires too .. and no instructions.. the 4 poles are bat/st/acc/ign. what to do with the 2 orange wires the little 2 color wire and the other bat+ wire on stock ignition harness.. man thank you so much if you can help me out ,, i will send a pic of the stock ignition switch with the wires i described .. there are 2 plugs going into it blue and black .. from what i found so far is that the blue one is the one to make the truck start and the black one has all the inside cab stuff to fuse box.. let me know .. jeff 1982 chevy short wide.. i just primed it grey last week..
