*Need help on how to wire up a switch panel*

I'm thinking maybe I need to run the brown wire through the ignition ballast resistor so the coil gets power from the alternator once it's running. Either that, or the problem has to do with the MSD E-Curve distributor I'm using and the way it's wired. In all the wiring changes going on, maybe it's not getting power anymore. I'll check it out tomorrow.

Thank you so much for all the help so far. I thought this would be easy and straight forward when I began, until you set me straight on hooking the brown and yellow wires together.
