questions on push button ignition/
OK, the simple stuff. You can hook the acessories line that was on the IGN switch to that ACC toggle You can hook your ignition run line from the IGN switch to your new IGN toggle
But the tricky part is going to be this:
The easy way to run your neutral safety switch AND deal with the ballast resistor is to get a late model Jeep starter relay like this:
NOTICE that it looks just like your old start relay EXCEPT
it has one more terminal, and, the "square terminal" is now replaced with two "push on" terminals labled EGR/SOL
SO buy one of those, replace your starter solenoid wire with a (probably yellow) push on connector, and hook the relay up just like it was----
The wires off the old stud back on the new stud
The starter solenoid wire onto the new EGR/ SOL connector
Your original yellow "start" wire to the "I" terminal
Your original transmission neutral safety switch wire to the "G" terminal
ADD a wire from the new "BAL" terminal to the coil + terminal, and THAT will take care of the coil resistor bypass circuit
THEN just go inside the car and hook your new push button to power on one side, and the other side goes to the yellow "start" wire.
A SECOND way of taking care of the resistor bypass would be to buy a good quality Bosch relay and mounting socket.
IF you use a Bosch relay, like so:

Run fused power from the start relay stud to terminal no 30
Run a wire from the coil + to relay terminal no 87
(87A is not connected)
Now wire the coil, 85 and 86 in parallel with the two "push on" wires on your original start relay
This will cause the Bosch relay to pull in whenever the start relay does.

Your old IGN switch should be:
Large RED power coming into the switch from the ammeter circuit Hook this to the power buss in your new panel
Large black: switched accessory power to the fuse box Hook this to the ACC switch in the new panel
Dark blue IGN run Hook this to the IGN toggle in the new panel
Yellow start Hook this to the output of the start pushbutton
Brown the coil resistor bypass circuit, what the new start relay is replacing.
