80' 240 Starter switch wiring info needed badly

I screwed up and popped the 'cap' off of the starter switch wiring harness and the wires fell out and now I cannot find the info to properly put it back together. This has had the car down for 2 years now. Please can someone help, I have searched the wiring diagrams and can't find this info and am ready to go to a junkyard just to take a picture or swap the entire harness if needed.

    By “starter switch” - do you mean the ignition switch inside the car?

        From the pictures -- Blue wire = 50; Black wire = X; Red wire = 30 (the 30 farthest away from where the wire bundle enters the plug, not the closer one); Red/white = S; Blue/yellow = 15

          THANK YOU so much. I see you now have a 6.2L in your car. I plan on an all aluminum 5.3 Ls wide ratio Muncie 4 speed in mine once I get it running and pass smog then I am exempt.

            Cool! From my experience - if you're street driving it and plan on any highway time at all -- put a 5 speed of some sort in it. With 25.3" tall tires and 3.55 rear gear, my 5th is .625 -- I'm looking at a bit over 2000 rpm at 70 mph. And consistent 25/6/7 mpg on the highway.

              Thanks that info worked, it still won't start due to no fuel pump and ignition. There must be a hidden impact circuit that I can't find as it was running fine before. I plan on a 3.0 rear for my car. A T-5 will break for sure (I destroyed one in my old Mustang just rolling into the power in 3rd on an onramp) and the TKO's are heavy and supposedly shift poorly due to the mass of the gears.

                I bought the heavier duty, aftermarket T5z 19 years ago. It spent 15 years behind the 5.0L and now 3 years behind the LS3. 45k miles on tranny - still flawless. Quiet, shifts smooth, just perfect. Bad rap for T5 often because 1) people buy used ones already trashed and then blame the problems on the tranny; 2) rebuilds by people who don’t know what they’re doing; 3) people expecting them to live behind a lot more rpm/torque than they were designed for.
