GM uses a solenoid on the starter motor energized by the key switch. If all you're doing is replacing the key switch with a button switch, G bodies used 12 gauge wire. It's circuit #6 & the wire is purple...

Here is what is going on, I bought a 93 S10 blazer with a sbc, the colum is broken where the plunger rod attaches. You can turn the key on and jump/arc the starter an it will run till you turn the key off, so I just want to be able to turn the key on and push the button.

That's pretty much what I was picturing. We're thinking on the same page...
