HEI can be any color, it is a wire you need to add to the system.
Follow that purple wire on the HEI and see where it goes.
You need to have a wire on the S terminal (normally closer to block, but not always). It is supposed to be purple. If it is there already, then you need to find out why it isn't getting power when you turn the key.
You say no neutral safety switch, is that becouse it's a manual, or becouse it's been bypassed?
If it was bypassed, you need to verify that it is still bypassed.
After those checks, i would lay on the floor with my head on the tranny hump (feet hanging out the drivers door) and shine a flashlight behind the ignition switch. Unplug the harness from the switch. It may be a PITA, if I remember right, there ios 3 little locking tabs that you have to depress to unplug it.
Once you have it unplugged, drop it down and look at the terminals on the inside of the plug. You are looking for corrosion, or more likely, burned connections.
