finished wiring my 70 rs with a aaw kit know i need help

[JAPPO]

well i finally finished with the wiring, installed the battery turned the key and nothing, charging the battery, i dont remember one thing about the steering column, when i turn the key i see a metal rod that moves next to the ign switch, do u know how that thing works, the way mine is its not touching anything seems like it should grab something ????i notice a spot under the switch when its mounted to the column where it could go, i should paid attention more when taking it apart

[Rod]

if its like the first gen harnesses check the neutral safety switch wires (if you're not running one connect the 2 purple wires together) the to and from switch

[JAPPO]

it has a neutral switch with both purples attached. what is that rod, i looked at a steering column diagram online and it didnt show too much

[JAPPO]

got the answer from a guy off nastyz28, the rod goes into the switch and moves a contact (victory the motor turns over), but the rod for some strange reason doesnt want to go into hole and bolt to the column all that hard work doing the wiring and this. any ideas or anyone ever have this happen before, i am sure its something simple but i dont know the answer

Lets see a picture of it.
It should be pretty easy. Put the rod end into the hole and then bolt the switch to the column.
Here is my original that I just took out of the car.

got some advise from a guy on nastyz28, turns out i had the switch upside down, key turns smooth and starts just need to tiddy some wires and time for a road test.

all back together but it turns over but wont run???it has a msd 6al wired just like the back of the says, any ideas

[JAPPO]

runs ggod, final step before road test install dash, everything worked as it should , had to lower steering column to fit the dash, installed dash, reinstalled steering column in doing so i pinched a wire (purple-starter soleinoid) now i have no power anywhere, it arched and had smoke at the fuse box i stopped as soon as i heard the arch, i checked the fuses none where blown, now how to troubleshoot???

Do you have a fusible link to your starter?
I don't have an aaw kit but the kit I used has a fusible link at the starter.
Maybe you fryed that.

fried a wire in the fuse box, had a guy come out and fix it all is good, install seats and she how she runs with all new wiring
