I removed my TPI and installed a carb. I was told there is a wire to disconnect that will stop the computer from trying to talk to the distributor. Any idea what wire and it's location?

 

Let's say there is one and you disconnect it. What is controlling your advance curve now?

(What I'm trying to say is, you're either going to need a standalone ignition controller, or a distributor that can advance itself.)

 

Yup should get a mechanical advance HEI or other aftermarket programmable distributor. The TPI HEI is basically a locked out dist w/o input, so you have to go full advance all the time and that's not ideal for street. Unless that's what you want.
