Can anyone give me a heads up/wiring diagram on how to wire up this particular 3-way neck selector switch ?? I am refurbishing another MCI D10 and this is the switch in it.
Pickups are BL705 (the newer version) ....and of course I need to wire in the input jack as well.
Much appreciated in anticipation ....

That link isn't correct.
You have a 4-wring BL humbucking pickup. Unless you plan to split the coils so you can run it both in humbucking and single-coil modes you'll need to check the Bill Lawrence site for color-code info. Two of the wires will need to be tied together and not connect to anything else; another one will go to the switch; the other to ground. Chances are the white and green - which are already tied together...should be. I'd check anyway, as color codes vary by manufacturer so you need to find out what the specifics are for that pickup.
Make sure you insulate the tied-togehtee leads so they don't touch anything.
Look at the Seymour Duncan website for general wiring information. Specifically, look for the "Telecaster" diagrams, since that's the usual 2-pickup arrangement used with that type of switch. Find the chart for "one humbucking, one (whatever the steel currently has in it) and 3-way switch".
The switch type is wired the same no matter what type of pickup you have. The issue is configuring the 4 wires on the humbucking correctly or the pickup will a) not work, or b) not work in humbucking mode. And make sure the grounds are all tied together or you'll have hum issues.
