So, after some more troubleshooting, it ended up being the splice to the HEI ignition; it is spliced into the pink wire from the firewall, it is a 12V switched source. I started at the coil and started tracing back... Voltage was correct on the truck side of the splice, but low on the HEI lead... Just removed the splice, soldered and shrink wrapped the joint, and voila 11.8 volts.

Hooked up the timing light, cranked a few times (it was like 11:30 PM with open headers, so I couldn't start her), but the strobe of my timing light was strobing, and I know my wires are setup right, so all signs point to go tomorrow AM.
