Two wires crossed or hooked up to wrong terminals coming from switch to dist. On '61 trucks, the start and run wires were on the starter solenoid. Electronic ignition does not use the 'run' wire from the starter, it gets straight 12 volts from the switch. Old ignitions started on 12v but run on 6v. Electronic needs 12v. from the switch.
Test the 'from switch' wires for power when switch is on. Recheck the powered wires with switch off. The wire on when switch on and not powered when switched off must go to dist. terminal.

You have battery voltage supplied to the distributor instead of ignition voltage which goes dead when you turn the key off.

the thick wire that supplies 12volts to the distributor isn't getting shut off when you turn off the ign switch. either you got a bad ign switch, or have it wired wrong.

year,s ago the ignition was wired through the solenoid switch.....you will have to rewire your ignition feed through your ignition switch.........you may have to change your ignition switch.
