Welcome Steve, enjoy the forum.
Old electrics, a great way to spend endless frustrating hours, so easy to bodge and forget and leave to the next owner to sort out!  Good luck with the problem solving.

Welcome in. Wiring looks a bit of a nightmare but hopefully wont be expensive to fix. You have the motor running so off to a good start.. Good luck!

This was part of the extended loom to the ignition switch:

OMGoodness! He was a butcher for sure lol. But, a little wire, a little TLC, and a few OEM bullet connectors, and you should be OK. I found my local shop stocks the OEM style connectors, in most configurations, and I purchased a set of PICO crimp pliers for the pins inside the 2-4-6 pin connector blocks on most Japanese wiring harnesses. Along with the occasional spade connector, and bullets, I am able to repair with a good amount of success, most previous owner faux pas wiring. It beats going to the local auto parts store and buying those connectors...
BTW, the 550 looks good!
