welp, I took off the starter and hooked it up directly and it worked. I'm brain boggled, I'll have to call the wiring company tomorrow.

I am getting some noise from the msd when I turn the key all the way. I tried taking the coil wire off the distributor to see what would happen and when I turned the key all the way I could get a spark to jump from the negative post on the coil to the main wire post.
