With the help of Scot Paton, I replaced the ignition switch on my '74. After everything was put back together, I tried it, but still nothing from the starter. But for the first time ever, the high pitched obnoxious buzz from under the seat when you simply put the key in the ignition. When I bought the car, it had aftermarket seats in, along with five point harnesses, and the PO (or someone before him) had joined those two big yellow wires to disable the seat belt issue. Today I cut off the tape to make sure the connection was tight, and as you can see, it is. When the key is inserted into the ignition, the loud noise comes from that small relay towards the bottom of the photo. I removed it, no noise, but still no start. Anyone have an idea as to why this noise would start up after replacing the ignition switch, and better yet, how to get it to start? TIA. Image is turned 90 degrees to the top.

A bit embarrassed to admit it, but I installed a Bosch Hot Start Kit a few years back, and I thought that something might be malfunctioning on it. There is an inline fuse on it, the fuse was blown. Switched out the fuse, and it started right up. Don't know why it happened, but will keep tabs on it. At least she is running again.
