Not getting power from key to starter, can jump power and start engine but not from key Options

[Type 47]

We've been trying to figure this out for a couple of days. The car was converted to carbs by the PO and was running and starting fine before I took it apart.

Now, nothing happens when key is in start position but we can start if we touch pole 2 (powering fuel pump) and 4 together from open FI harness plug receptacle.

pole 1 being drivers front, 2 passenger front, 3 drivers rear, 4 passenger rear.

one other difference is that now using a Carter fuel pump versus the Faucet that was originally on the car.

This type of connector from a 1976 car is the best for joining the two wires; it is really just a double ended male spade within a plastic housing.
The two yellow wires are 4mm cross section area according to the drawings. This is to reduce the voltage drop over the total length of the wires.
If you were to add the additional starter relay like I suggested, then this would become a moot point. This is Mark Henry's method, but any 40 amp relay should do the trick:
