Where did you take the 12 volts from?
Classic Doh! stupid mistake.
In the fuse box, there was an unused stud where I used for the HEI and the electric choke wires. Now this is a switched box, power goes away when you hit "start" on the key. Genius that I am, I ran the wire in parallel to the resistor wire to the coil. Works fine. For some reason, though, i had to put in a bigger than expected fuse. But hey, it's the HEI and choke. Bonus was that when i put points and condenser back in, a temporary try worked by pulling out the fuse. Easy peasy.
Genius that I'm not, I didn't realize that when I hit start, the 13.6v power back-feeds the circuits in the fuse box. That's why the fuse is bigger than I expected. I've tracked down this "bleed-back" bug at work several times and even in our house when i discovered an intermittent short buggering up things at the breaker box. I cannot believe that I did this.
Now, how do i wire this properly? Relay powered from the resistor wire like listed below? Other ways?
