This means that something is on and drawing current. So you have power on even before you turn on the key. which is probably the lights that must be getting current from the battery all the time.

I don't know if you meant that your tach and HEI wires are both plugged into the other IGN-Unfused terminal or not but only the HEI wire goes to ignition power, the tach wire from the tach goes to the ignition coil in the distributor
unless you mean it's the tach light wire and the tach power wire.

Sorry, didn't mean to confuse you. I took some pics to clarify how I have it routed.

The tach harness has two wires (brown & pink)

The plug that goes into the back of the dash cluster, I have the pink wire (12V) going to the Ign Unfused and the brown wire (Coil) connected to the "tach" on distributor.

The other Pink wire going into marked "battery" on distributor is coming from the engine wire harness which leads back to the fuse panel. I'm not sure where exactly tho
