Connect Bat to Ignition Switch power and on to +12v (battery positive).
Connect IGN to Ignition Switch Ignition and on to + terminal on ignition coil.
Connect Sol to Ignition Switch Start and on to starter solenoid male spade terminal.

Makes sense?

Sorry. Let me try it this way:

(1) Harness wire Ignition Switch power - Connect one end of that wire to Bat on ignition switch, and the other end to +12v (i.e. positive battery terminal, or a fuse that's always +12v when fuse is not blown).

(2) Harness wire Ignition Switch Start - Connect one end of that wire to Sol on ignition switch, and the other end to male spade terminal on starter solenoid.

(3) Harness wire Ignition Switch Ignition - Connect one end of that wire to IGN on ignition switch, and the other end to + terminal on ignition coil.

On ignition switch...

BAT is source of 12 volts (battery).

IGN is to + side of coil (and any other devices that power is controlled by ignition switch).

SOL is to terminal 50 of starter solenoid.

Sort of like graphic below....
