Ignition Switch Wiring #388175 04/22/17 09:01 PM

I have a new ignition switch and don't know exactly which wires go to the three terminals on the switch. It does not have any letters or abbreviations on it. It is from LMC, part #36-0734. This truck has a starter with a solenoid so I am going to use a push button on the dash to start it. The switch has three positions. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks
