The distributor wires and rear lighting wires shouldn't be together up on the cowl gutter I don't believe. If I were you I'd trace out the rear light wiring from the tail lights to the junction block on the firewall to make sure they're ok. Then trace the distributor wire back as well. They might be in contact further upstream where they come thru the firewall.

I installed the HEI myself. I connected the power to the HEI directly to a constant 12v wire near fuse box.
The resistance wire is still connected from the ignition to the starter, correct? Wont I still need it (or a ballast resistor) or the starter wont disengage when the engine fires up?
