Swapping in new to me engine. Had HEI distributor. My 69 Firebird did not. I couldn’t find and power source on fuse block that had power only on run/start. I did try just hook in to a spot just to test distributor. No spark.
After some suggestions I was able to tap pink wire coming out of multipoint on passenger top of steering column. I confirmed it had run/start power. I am a bit concerned about that wire as a place to tap in. Any thoughts?

Ran new wire to Bat terminal on HEI.

Replaced ignition module, coil, cap and rotor.

I had spark. Engine was popping a bit as this is a first start in this car.

Battery died. Charged it up. Now… no spark.

I will check all the connections. But frustrated.
