Bump the engine over and make sure the distributor is turning.
SB is trying to walk you through this, follow him.
With key in run position you should have 12v at positive post of coil. Voltage goes through coil and out negative post and on to ignition module. When engine turns over the ignition module turns that negative side off and on which makes the coil fire.

If you don't have the skills to follow the flow chart I posted, then you really should just have a professional diagnose the problem.

No, there’s not.

SB

There is a coil somewhere. Maybe further back. Easy to find if you Follow the ‘spark plug wire’ attached to center of distributor cap. This goes right to the coil. And why it’s actually called the coil wire.

Prestigeworldwideee

I mean to say there is no voltage coming out of it.

SB

Double checking
key to run ?
+ lead of multimeter to purple wired connector on coil ?
- lead of multimeter to a good ground on engine ?

Prestigeworldwideee

Yep…. Needle didn’t move one bit.

SB

Okay.

Turn key to run. Get to back of ignition switch.

+ lead multimeter to purple wire connection.
- lead multimeter to the ground post or bar the guages or etc ground to.

Do you have 12 volts at the ignition post (purple wire is connected to it) of key switch ?

There was an orange wire and yellow wire. The orange had 12v, the other one, nothing.

SB

yellow wire with red line is start. Some call it solenoid. This wire attached to ‘S’ terminal back of ignition switch.

Red wire with purple line is power from battery. Terminal on ignition switch is marked ‘B’

Purple wire powers the ignition and things like gauges that are on when engine runs. The Terminal on back of ignition switch fir this is marked ‘I’ for ignition.

Orange , if there, is typically powering other stuff on dash.
