Simplest way to do this is pull wire that was on the original distributor out of the wrap down to the fuse block. Leave yourself enough wire to splice onto it. Then run new wire back to HEI.

The original wire was a resistor wire but it wasn't the whole length of the wire. I have done this to several trucks and cars with no problems.
The picture is the wire connector on back of the fuse block. Yes I know it needs to be better but it just hasn't been done yet.
The original wire has the cloth jacketing on it so it's easy to follow back to the fuse block.
