Hearing that single faint "click" indicates the purple wire is connected.. It could be the solenoid is bad, or it's possible that wire terminal is not tight or voltage is low (weak battery??) for some reason. Diagnose the problem and find what's actually wrong, don't just start slinging parts at it...
Under any event, I'm curious as to why there is a second red wire attached between the distributor "batt" terminal and the solenoid, the one with the fuse.. It's not needed with a Delco HEI -- remove it while you're under there...
