'61 Switch wiring

[Richard P.]

On '61 switch I am trying to figure out the wiring. Looking up at it by laying in the floorboard, there is the main connection for the harness with three treminals going to the engine. Then there are 3 single terminals, one on top (I can't see what it says), one on Right marked "ACC", and one on the bottom marker "Batt". What wires, color and from where, connect to the three single terminals.

Also, where does the wire to the cigarete lighter terminal come from?

Also, where does the wire to the cigarete lighter terminal come from?

The lighter feed comes directly from the ammeter - same terminal as all the other red feeds.

I think I got the others - Large pink to ACC, and small Pink to Batt. When I just turn the switch to ON, the fuel gauge registers correctly, but the Generator shows half way to the Negative. The other gauges seem to be ok. But when I START the car and rev it up, the Fuel and Generator both spike to the right. Any ideas?

My 62 has the 3 terminals on the switch but only two go to something. Not sure what the third one is for.
