77 brain box wiring help

I'm trying to get a 77 brain box for 351 modified wired. I have the distributor side wiring intact with no problems, but need help with the white and red wires that are to come from the ignition. I put the normally coil feed to the red but the wiring diagram shows a ignition stop to the white. I don't have a ignition stop. I just have the hot coil feed in the on postion. Help Please!

F1 Rules!

What is an "ignition stop"?

You need two power wires for the module. One from the ignition switch in the RUN position and another from the ignition switch in the START position. You can not use the ignition coil feed to power the module, there is a resistor in the line.
