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


Happy Racing!
