Default Adding a check engine light (CEL)?

Hello. I need to add a CEL to my 87 RX7 / LS1 swap. Anyone have any instructions on how to do this?

Thanks
Ben

it is pretty simple.... just use a 5v led from radio shack. I don't know what pcm you have so I can't give you the exact pin out but it is the wire labled MIL control in your service manual.
