I have the HEI connected properly. I got the engine to stop when I switch the key off. That was the original problem I asked for help with. The alternator is not connected in a conventional manner because the terminal one wire is dangling. I still have a lingering problem with something discharging the battery when the truck is off. I was hoping the resistor that caused the other problem would be causing the discharge but the battery is sorry discharging. Thanks to everyone who helped me get the problem fixed.
