Engine fires only when starter is engaged ... Stumped!

I have a 69 C10. The engine and electrical systems are all new within the past 9 months.

The motor will fire when the key is turned all of the way and the starter is engaged. Let off of the starter and it dies.

I replaced the ignition switch.

If I run a wire from the battery to the hot side of the distributor, HEI, then it runs.

I'm stumped. Anybody got any ideas?

The motor is a 383, HEI distributor, all new.

Thanks in advance.
