240Z body and 280zx engine

Trying to figure out if my problem lies in the wireing or the ignition switch. I have the 280ZX conversion in my 240Z. The wireing diagram says that start goes to the tach and then to the coil. On the other hand, the conversion wire diagram says to bypass the ballast resistor and hardwire it to the start wire to the back of the tach. I see no such thing. (got the wire diagram from www.zhome.com/ZCMnL/tech/StockToZXIng.jpg ) as I think a lot of us did. I am adding a pic of the back of my dashboard so you guys can see what I am talking about. If you have any questions for me please feel free to ask if it will help sort this whole thing out.

Thanks

Ok, I don't think I'm crazy. I went to shoot wires to see if I could get the test light to come on. I found a hot wire in start and run. Thought everything was alright untill I went to shut the car off. The engine was still running. I about screamed bloody murder. :tapemouth :tapemouth :tapemouth Why is it still running with the key out in ignition? This could only mean that I was still "running off the battery." The last time I drove the car the battery power was so low everything dimmed and then shut down.

I would like an opinion on what to do. (besides get rid of the car...it is part of the family.)

Thanks again....:(
