Swapping KA24E to Blacktop SR i also need to convert to manual, I've heard about a "engine lock" and a "key capture" which need to be removed from the steering colum and near the main fuse box.

Can someone *please* give me a better idea of where they are, and what they look like, so that I can remove them?

 

by the battery the is a 2 pin connecter about a inch or so wide with 2 thick wires. make a jumper and jump it. or cut the plug off and solder the 2 together but use lots of tape. you don;t want that think to touch the chassis.
