Good ideas about checking for shorts, I'll recheck the wiring routing tomorrow. I used a crimped connector to connect the tach sensor wire to the tach terminal on the HEI. As for 12V to the HEI, yes, doing that, but a little differently than most of the ways I've read. I have the original resistor wire going to a relay, triggering a full 12-14 volt feed with the key on.

Thanks for the kill-switch idea - been thinking of adding something like that.
