Let me see if I get this correct, ( if I don't the group will let you know) If 1500 will fit into the car you will not need to change anything as the engine is the Main item that is wired for ground

I think you will find it won't fit. If you take a look at a 1500 Midget you will see that the engine bay is very different. So, while you can convert a 1500 to A Series you cannot do vice versa - unl
