carb to efi wiring question

I just installed a 502 efi engine in place of a hp500 carb engine. Engine harness plugs right in to the existing wiring. No spark at this time. Fuel pumps running but now fire. Could there be a wiring issue with the existing wiring?

Thanks

Thanks for your input.

It has started and fine tuning from here.

Thanks
