Icon3 y8 wont start

ok so this is my first single cam build and I just got the obd2 y8 installed with obd1 dizzy, jumper, p28, and obd0 injectors runnning on resistor box. my problem is that I'm getting a crank pos sensor error code (4). I know that normally in the past this has been automatic dizzy for obd0 but I noticed the y8 has a sensor coming off of the crank and i dont know if the ecu needs to read that or if its getting it from the obd1 dizzy... also it's not starting. please help! thanx

the sensor by the crank pulley is the crankshaft fluctuation sensor - the OBD1 ECU doesn't read that sensor - not needed with OBD1 - try switching the orange and white wires at the distributor connector
