Tom,
I'm confused, are you using the standard HEI ignition distributor that came with your 1977 455? or have you switched to an Electronic Spark Control (ESC) distributor??

The ESC distributor has no vacuum advance can on the side and has 4 wires going to the ECM.

The ECM needs to see pulses from the distributor before it operates the injectors. If you are running a HEI (or points) ignition, there is a single wire that connects to the TACH connector. There is also a small circuit board buried in the wiring harness that shifts the level from 12V pulses to 5V. If you are running ESC, there are 4 wires going to the ECM (and the small circuit board, if present, must be removed).
