You should call rpm as they don't list the harness on their website. They can also help you with all your wiring questions.
It seems a lot of people get anxious when wiring situations come up - myself included. As it turns out, with one phone call to rpm, all my questions were answered. I got the harness from them. The only electical work needed is to take the rpm harness and wire it into the PCM. It's not as big a deal as it seems.
In your case with the stand alone controller, I have no idea how it works, but I bet the op will be happy to help.
Good luck. Its a fun conversion.

With the pcs controller, u do not need the rpm harness or any other wiring harness. The pcs has there own harness you need.
The wiring harness looks hard but most of the wire you wont use. No other wiring needed.
All you have to connect is a 12v switched, ground, tps, tach, and vehicle speed sensor. I mounted the controller behind the pass seat and ran the wires through the e-brake hole.

If you're going from stick to auto. The wires should be in your tansmission harness that run back to the safety switch on the auto trans.
The additional harness that you get from RPM "C146" would give you the other side.
If you jump the yellow and purple wires together you car can be started in gear and that could be dangerous.
If you're using a transmission controller, you make up two wires (yellow and purple and run them from the safety switch inside the car out to C146 as a quick fix to your problem.

Im going from Stick to Auto in my FRC. I got the full harness from a same year Auto car. My manual wiring harness did not run to the connection of the swith under the clutch pedal. So are you saying I do nothing with the wires that went to the switch under my clutch pedal becouse the Auto wiring harness gets its safety start another way? Again thanks for your brain cells on this.
