Ignition Switch Wiring?

I have a quick question for you guys...

I'm installing a push-button for starting the engine in my Camaro ('83 Z28). Its is a 5-speed. I have the button already installed, and I have one wire run to the yellow wire attatched to the switch on the clutch pedal.

My question is this:

A) Am I alright so far?

B) Where does the other wire go? I'm terrible at reading wiring diagrams, and haven't found a helpful one yet.

You need one wire with power on one side, and a wire to s terminal on starter solenoid from other side

Any BIG RED wire. Easiest to find at the terminal strips that are above the parking brake release. In fact, there's probably extra terminals on that strip, that you could just plug onto; and not have to sodomize any wires at all.

If you have an empty fusebox terminal that's fused at 20A or more, with constant battery on it, that would also work.
