Here is a link to it: 1951 Car Wiring Diagram The center contact is battery power, and the other two contacts are marked as "Aux.". One goes to the ignition coil and powers the gasoline gauge. The other is available to power accessories and may have nothing connected to it. Last edited by chevy50jim; 09/22/14 05:21 PM.

You can turn the ignition back to the center position by hand and start the car. Its an odd system. I wish it was an aux setting intead. 1951 Chevy Styleline Deluxe 2 Door Sedan, 3 speed, hopped up 235
