Default Which 4 wires to hook up to make conversion start?

I have a whole bunch of extra wires that dont go anywhere with the conversion. Im going to have a buddy bring his camaro over so i can compare where they go. But everything was left on the motor so everythings hooked up that should be. Where are the four wires that need to be hooked up (POWER, IGNITION, FUEL PUMP AND STARTER)? Which wires are they. im trying to get the motor started.

Did someone modify a harness for you or are you trying to use a stock F-body or Y-body harness?

You really need to take a look at a wiring diagram because you need to also connect the proper relays for the fuel pump and electric fans. You'll have more than 4 wires to hook up. As for the wires to fire it up you should just need two power feeds to the PCM (one hot and one ignition controlled), a lead to the fuel pump relay and ground.

I have a big race fuel pump running through a seperate relay that is switch operated. I also have the electric fans switch operated.

Thanks for the reply. What other things do you think need to be hooked up? And where do i find the two power feeds to the PCM? Im really new to this EFI stuff.

LS1.com in the FAQ section has all the pin outs for the computer. Shows which wires go to what out of the PCM. Helps out to find the right wires for Power and anything else your looking for.
