Sounds like something is wired wrong (obviously).

Vettevet is the wiring guru around here and here is a recent post he replied to on proper HEI wiring.

Okay thank you I just hope it's not to the point of me completely rewiring it but it might be enter to do.

Does everything work if the HEI is not hooked up? Where is the 12 volt power wire connected?
