Sounds like you didn’t reinstate the Neutral Switch circuit.

On the automatic, the Neutral Switch was mounted to the shifter.

That’s where the wires of interest were.

You need to connect, thru a Neutral Switch, the purple wire
from the starter solenoid, to the yellow wire from the ignition switch
