'73 P1800ES Ignition Switch wiring 1800 1973

I'm trying to ressurrect my garage queen P1800ES. It's even been repainted this year and it was running albeit very badly. Somewhere in my struggles however, she died completely and I was blowing out a single fuse constantly. As I tried to decipher this, I find I had incorrectly wire the fuseblock - I had labled 1-12 cleanly, but which end was #1 at? I had it backwards at it was running! Correcting this, I had an absolutely dead car - no ignition lights, no fuel pump relay click, no nothing.

As I look at the wiring diagram at the ignition switch I see that the switch should be:

Terminal # Color (Wire size)
30 Red (4)
50 Green (1.5)
75 Black (4.0)
15 Yellow (4.0)


My problem is that I don't have a green wire, but a blue one. Is this a possible correct variation? I am working from a 1972 Green book, not a 1973 one.

Thanks,
Dave
