Re: H/S/H, 1-Vol, 2-Tone, 5-Way, Push/Pull???
when i look at what you wrote and then look at the diagram...the only difference i see is ...placement.....the volume ,push/pull is now in the tone position on the guitar, and tone is now my volume control..
has any wiring changed.....if so i must be so dumb, not to see it..
I am wondering if the input jack,should still be solder to the push/pull, or should i solder it to the volume pot...

Perhaps I am misunderstanding what you are wanting?
Volume / Tone with the push-pull split on the tone control, right? If I misunderstood I apologize.
If that's the case, yes it's just placement. The only thing that makes a pot a volume or tone is what is connected to it. So, wire the volume and tone and shown, just put the push-pull component in the tone slot. (As long as you wire the potentiometer portions per the diagram, the top will be volume and the bottom will be tone.

This is correct...
I always thought the input jack gets wired to the volume pot..but in this case i guess my input jack will be wired to push/pull...

So i finally got some power from the pickup.... but it seems backwards..when i pull up on the tone pot, i get full humbucker output...when i push down...both coils are on, but 1/2 the output..
when you split a coil...should a coil shut off, ....

I contacted SD and they gave me this link to a wiring diagram..i said i had HSH, the diagram has SSS...

Why does he want that set up? I don't think it's a good set up (personally). The split coils are a great idea, but I'd dump the tones all together and put three volumes (two split and one standard). I know it's what your client wants, but I think you could do better. I just built one with 3 humbuckers and 3 split coils although, I added an extra master tone pot to the front of the body. Having a little trimming router is essential for a backyard luthier. I used mine to fit a roller nut to a strat today. It's much neater and easier than some of the 'saw and chisel' hatchet jobs I've seen done.
However, what you are trying to do shouldn't be too difficult. The humbuckers go through the push/pull and then to the switch. the center goes directly to the switch and earthed on the volume. The tones go from your common to earth and the others go to your hot on the controllers. Where the earths go to is not important, as long as you have one to the input. The 'hot' input comes from the 'hot' on the last tone pot. I've learned that, when you want to get funky with guitar wiring you have to combine three or four diagrams and add some knowledge to figure it out. All guitars are basically a loop of power and earth. Once you understand the switch/es you can do anything. Have a look at these diagrams and I'm sure you'll figure it out for yourself.

Here's another diagram to add. This one just needs another pick up and tone added. Use this one to wire your humbuckers and the others to wire the rest. You can do it!
