Default 2nd gen neon stock car

I'm getting my neon stock car ready for the 2011 season. Brought over a 2nd gen engine to a 1st gen roller. I've brought over the entire engine with all components and wire harness. What I need to do now is figure out what wire(s) that need to be powered by my 'run' toggle switch. I know what wires to use for the starter/start button but not clear on the proper wire which is given power when the key is in the run position...again, the key system has been removed and replaced by a a toggle switch and push button start.
Another member on here set me up to find some wiring schematics but it isn't really clear on which wire(s) to use.

Thanks to all who can help!

I'm finding better luck with answers on neons on www.neons.org I've found all the answers I need to put a 2.4 in my gen1 neon.

I'm aware of the site. I'll give it a try. Thanks.
I know a guy who did a 2.4 swap into a neon stock car. He used the swap steps from neons.org as well. It worked well for a while but he blew it up soon into the season.

The biggest cause for engine failures on these cars is the design of the oil pan. I just got done putting my 2.4 into 1998 neon. All I have left to do is wiring and some other odds and ends. Can't wait to get the car on the track.

Thanks Darthroush, I'll check it out when I'm back to my computer. I've just got my blackberry right now. I'll let you know how it goes. Probably post a set of step-by-steps too.
Much appreciated!
