Starter interlock
I am converting my '72 from automatic to standard transmission. I have the flywheel/clutch installed along with the bellhousing and starter. I wanted to start it up tonight to make sure there were no issues with the starter or the flywheel balance but it wouldn't turn over. I think it has to do with the interlock that only allows the automatic truck to start in neutral or park because I was able to start it by jumpering from battery + to the starter solenoid.
What do I have to do to the wiring to get around this interlock?
By the way I am using a 351 flywheel with 164 teeth on my 302 and it worked fine.
Thanks

On my 78 F150 A/T there is a 4 pin connector that appears at or near the firewall, above the RH (passenger) valve cover, and exits a larger harness and is about 6" to the connector. I think this used to connect to a tail that went to the interlocks, but have no idea, it hase been like this for over 15 years. Anway,on mine, it has two jumpers, parallel on the long axis.

jump 1 to 2 & 3 to 4.
1 & 2 are both red on mine, 3 and 4 both have 2 conductors entering. GL
