4.6 Stroker into 88 YJ Wiring HELP

[Nunner]

So I am dropping in a 4.6L Golen stoker in the YJ, I have everything in, no problem, but I often get confused while plugging appliances into household sockets, so I really need some help sorting out the harness (Off a 4.0), it also has a MSD ignition and I have no clue where to start, literally. I couldn't find a good writeup on wiring in this beast!

I have both new and old harnesses and I assume that I have to splice the two together but I don't know where to start, if anyone can give me a good walk through it would be MUCH appreciated.

I can't walk u thru it via PC but if I was there I could show ya. Find someone one here who is in SD area & an aircraft tweet. It easier since you have both harnesses. May not get a lot of responses from some of the regulars as they seam 2 b out playing in the dirt this weekend (Camp MJ). Hopefully someone will post up with the easy skinny on this for ya. Good luck!

I work on aircraft, but again I have trouble using household outlets! My roomate is an AE but he's been useless to far.

Ok I'm am completely confused on this, I think the Jeep has been re-wired at some point, so no colors or wiring diagrams coincide, can someone who has done a swap take pictures of where they spliced their wires at?

I got the fuel system working, fire to the coil, but now when I hit the ignition the starter spins hard, but doesn't engage. Any Ideas? I have tried two different good starters so I know it's not a problem with the starter. Also the first starter I tried with a dieing battery worked fine, but once I installed a good strong battery this started happening.

Not to get you away from this site, But I know very little about strokers. try www.jeepstrokers.com I've scrolled through the forums a few times. Good info. just remember to post your solution here so we know how it went.
