I posted my first dilemma on here and was promptly given the info I need. Very cool I appreciate it immensely. Now I'm onto the next one. This one may be a little harder due to not having the car in front of you, and again I'm to savvy with the old school tech but here it is
Okay, so I only have time stamped video of this car ever running. Story is previous owner pulled the coil for another project. So, I bought a new coil wired it up and...
Nothing. Literally nothing. At first I'd get a little arcing off the coil positive wire but that's it. I wire up my battery and the car isn't getting power, no lights,brake lights, door buzzer ( if there is one) etc. With that being said, it obviously doesn't turn over either.
My ground isn't exactly shiny metal it's black
I jiggled it a bit to see if something would change. I cleaned up my positive wire on the battery connection (cut stripped etc). My battery positive has 3 wires coming out of it one of which goes directly into the starter solenoid and the other 2 seem to go into the harness. The negative grounds out on the front of the block.
Thanks all !! BTW it's a 1982 merc 351w swap. Believed to be a RS turbo originally
