This will give you the power needed to turn the starter and also will allow for fuel pressure. I have not figured spark out yet, but i will keep that posted just in case somebody stummbles across this issue with their own swap.

Hey man, I don't know if you researched the wiring much, but you actually have to do some wiring with the old auto shifter wiring harness (that plugged right into the auto shifter)



You first need to wire a neutral safety switch, which enables cranking.

The brown wire is the neutral safety switch... Cut the brown wire and the green and white wires... wire them all together.

Also reconnect all the wires you disconnected before you do this. Don't leave any of the previous wiring you did before this. Just cut those 3 wires and connect them, bam your done! goodluck! lemme know what happens

btw: Congrats on the conversion!
