you will need to use the y8 dizzy re wired for the y7 harness
search there is a write up on how to do it
or you can do like i did and contact http://www.rywire.com/store/index.php
and have them wire a conversion harness for you
i think it was like $50
this is what i did when i did a mini-me for a buddy... I'm lazy
