"Coil Lock Out through steering column ignition switch"

Well, here's the 1974 sedan wiring diagram:

https://www.thesamba.com/vw/ar...g/74-up113wiring.jpg

and it looks like the "hot" wire is a black/yellow striped wire coming from the column.  the 12V feed should be red.  find those two and they should close when the column key is inserted and turned to the first position.  

74 ignition switch terminals

Assuming standard VW wiring, remove the (black) wire that supplies power TO the fusebox from your dash switch and connect it to terminal 15 on the column switch. Run a new wire (of equal gauge) between terminal 30 of the column switch and the dash switch terminal you removed the fusebox wire from.

That will make the car require the column switch to be in the Run position before you can get start and run the car via the dash switch.

Good option Justin.  I need more info from anyone on terminal numbers of the pins on the column.  See pic.  The wiring diagrams do not show connections as they appear in real life order on the column.  Can anyone identify the pin numbers in my pic?

Is that carbon fiber I see?

Yes sort of.  I faced my gages with carbon fiber-look wrap because the PO or whom ever built the car cut the holes around the gages with a hammer, and I didn't want to take the time to fill and re-paint.

The ignition switch pins are directly behind the lock cylinder on the left and match the diagram I already linked to. The second diagram you posted has incorrect terminal numbers. In your diagram, the label 50 is actually terminal 30, and the label 30 is actually terminal 15 from the diagram I linked.

The row of pins along the bottom in your picture are the turn signals (left 6) and wiper (right 4).

The turn signal pins are (left to right in your picture): right lights, light power in (from flasher), left lights, horn, dimmer relay, ground.

The 3 right light/light power/left light terminals have a duplicate set of 3 terminals below them that are a set of duplicate redundant contacts. You can use either the top or bottom row, but don't mix and match and only use one row.

The wiper pins are (left to right in your picture): park power (53a), high (53b), park ground (31b), low (53).
