318, E-Coil, GM ignition module, Chrysler Distributor...need wiring help!
The assumptions made by the OP are "clearly" troubling
Likely ALL you need to do is to tie the IGN1 and IGN2 together where the ballast "is/ was."
You have TWO contacts on the ignition switch, "run" (IGN 1) and the ballast bypass (IGN 2). This is traditionally blue and brown respectively, but not all years.
"RUN" (IGN 1) is HOT ONLY ONLY ONLY in the "run" position. IT IS NOT active in "start."
The brown "bypass" (IGN 2) is the ONLY source of ignition during cranking.
GET A VOLTMETER!!! Hook to coil+ which should be electrically the same as your HEI module power.
Check that voltage with key in the "run" position. Check that voltage in the "start" position (while cranking)
You have three possibilities as I see it:
1....You did NOT hook IGN1 / IGN2 together
2.....You did, but there is a vehicle wiring problem, such as a connector "bad connection" or bad ignition switch
3......Your made a mistake in your wiring even though (1) is what you intended
