I just finished a 4cyl to 5.0 swap that I used 2 wiring harnesses for. My problem now is that no power is geting to the starter relay from the ignition. The fuel pump comes on but it wont crank. I tried to jump it but the spark was too weak (battery is brand new). Any idea which wire(s) to look at? I have a chilton manual but the wiring diagrams are like another language to me. Thanks
