It's in the wiring diagrams my friend. Get a Bentley (you don't have
one? OH?!?) and/or a Haynes and see what needs doing. In effect you are
rerouting one of the wires currently going to the Ign switch in the
steering column and using a momentary switch to handle the duty.

My Pops used to drive us kids around in a French Citroen wagon. It had
just such a button, being old school and all, and I don't see why you
couldn't do the same.

Remember, most every thing needs a fuse inline & design/build by method
of overkill/redundancy. Put in the biggest, baddest button you can, one
that won't bonk after ten thousand pushes. Think Military Surplus. he, he.
