You have to have power for your new dist. If you look next to plug you plugged in, there should be another spot that says "bat". Right beside it will be a spot labeled "tach". You need to run a new wire from the fuse box to the dist and hook to the "bat" terminal. Pick a spot that is hot with the key in run and start. Make sure you use at least 12 guage wire for the HEI dist.
