Ballast Resistor, Fuel Pump Relay, or Ignition Switch.
Since you have already bypassed the Ballast, the next step would be to swap around the relays next to the battery and see what happens. If it stays running, you have a bad relay. If it still exhibits the same behavior, then replace your ignition switch.
Hope that helps.

I am bypassing the ignition it is all messed up from someone trying to steal it my goal is to put toggles in. I think that there must be a wire that goes to the fuel pump relay. does this sound right?
sounds right. the fuel pump relay may be shutting off. can you hear it click? have you tried swapping relays, maybe its bad. i believe the ignition switch trips the fuel pump relay, so if your bypassing the ignition switch at the bottom of the steering column, find a wiring schematic and see which wire controls the fuel pump relay.
