*Brake light lights on START (how about RUN?)
It did this before swap, still does it now. So not really swap related?
Tried:
IGN switch
NSS
Quick thoughts:
*Does it have VATS? I have no experience with VATS and don’t know when it started.
*Does NSS have adjustment room?
*You have a manual w/wiring diagrams?
*Is there any kind of weird interlock or brake pedal switch that needs to be correct to start?
*Was the temp sensor bad before the swap? Was it hooked up then?
*What is battery voltage as mesured at battery with volt meter?
Edit: I found an 86 diagram via TGO. No vats, no brake switch or other type of circuit interrupt.

Yes, 89 RS auto now with carbed 350 rather than 2.8 FI.
Brake light and temp gauge do not light/peg in run position.
Before the swap the temp gauge would peg as it does now. didn't notice the brake light coming on then but that doesn't mean it wasn't.
Yes, it is a VATS equipped car.
Yes, the NSS does have adjustment room. I tried it in several different positions, no effect.
I have a 82-92 firebird chilton's manual with wiring diagrams, not for the maro though. so far most things have been the same.
No, the temp gauge did not function before the swap, (was hooked up) but the car ran fine until this thing with the starter happened.
I do not have a volt meter, but the battery is fairly new and was fully charged via a trickle charger before installation. Voltage gauge reads full 12 volts with key in RUN position.
