Default Wiring problems

I just replaced my wiring on my 1930 pickup. The problem is I am not sure how to hook the ignition calke to the ignition switch. I have an after marker ignition switch with two connectors. Can someome tell me where the ignition cable is connected and where the red wire from the voltage regulator is connected. As I look at the back of the switch is the ignition cable at the 3 oclock or 9 oclock position? Thanks. Also I assume that the red wire goes on one connector and the ignition cable goes on the other connector. Thanks.

What red wire from what voltage regulator. There is a red wire from the switch to the coil.

Sounds like one position is accessories and the other is ignition, either one will work.

Thanks Mike. So, should I connect both the red wire and the ignition cable to just one of the connectors?

Just follow the drawing, the red wire comes from the coil directly to the switch.
