So first off the wiringharness isnt an OE spec harness, it's from a guy who made harnesses here in sweden but no longer active.

I am trying to figure out if i have done something wrong in the process.

I do not get power in the brown wire (that i guess i should?) thats coming from the ignitionswitch when i turn the key.

(NO amp gauge)

So from my harness i have 6 wires

(Big Red that says to connect to BAT which i think is the Big Red from the switch).

(White connect to Ign1 / coil which is the Brown wire)

(I have i black wire that connects to the Blue which give power to the to the headlight doors and such)

(Yellow connects to a Purple to the starte relay)

(And 2 small red/black wires that connects to the Big Black wire from the switch)

So basically i only get power through 4 out of 8 wires.

I can crank the engine and all lights work.

I did a test and connected a new ignitionswitch with no difference.

I hope i explained in a good enough way.

’70 ignition switch lead coding?

Yellow- Start-crank, starter relay, 12 volts in crank only.

Black- accessory, 12 volts in run and accessory positions.

Blue- Ignition 1, 12 volts in run position only.

Brown- Ignition 2, ballast resistor bypass, 12 volts in crank position only.

Red- Battery feed in, 12 volts.

18ga orange, if present, column auto gear select light.

Two small red wires, key-in switch leads.

Oh, so brown only have 12v at crank, then i need another 12v at run position for my EFI
 
Then you'll have to push your car around with open headlights? I guess
 
Connect the blue (ignition 1) and brown (Ignition 2) wires together for 12 volts in both crank and run. There are a couple of other threads going on here on that subject presently.
so they work together? I just have to figure out how to do it in a good lookin way the =S
