New Years Quiz

Ok Ok Ok, I just did more testing and I think I've got it. I rechecked the wires on the hot side of the solenoid and I think when I swapped them out I hooked up one that shouldnt have been there. I unhooked it and it cranks over. The only bad things are that I dont know what the wire is, must be supposed to be grounded I guess, and when I tried to directly hook the hot cable to the starter solenoid wire, my distributor harness smoked,{while that wire was still hooked to hot post} obviously grounding when shouldnt? I may have to replace the distrib module or???The only other question is why this all started , unless that same wire moved and touched the hot post?
