MGB with a v6
I'm putting a 2.8 V6 form an 86 Camaro in my 79 MGB and I need some help. I have everything but the O2 sensor wired up and one wire from the coil that I don't know where it needs to go. Its the black and white wire from the gray plug. When I try to crank it the engine turns over fine but the engine will not start. Once the engine fired on about 3 cylinders but that was it. I checked the diagnostics on the computer and it kept flashing the 12 code and that was it. Any thoughts at all? and to see pics go to my webpage: http://bellsouthpwp.net/a/d/adam90009/v6_conversion.htm

edit: By the way this is my first engine swap and I'm 16.
