Hi, Im in the process of testing the wiring on my mk1 escort before I rewrap the loom with new tape. My coil, starter and dizzy are not wired up yet and I havnt had the engine running yet, Im no expert when it comes to wiring so please excuse me if im being silly. I turned the ignition key 2day and put the red lead from my voltmeter on the coil feed wire (the wire which comes from the round bulkhead connector and goes to the coil (this wire also has a bit which goes off to the starter)), I them put the black wire from my voltmeter to the battery negative. there was no reading on the voltmeter. Is this wrong OR do all the starter, dizzy and coil wires have to be connected before power runs through them?????? hope this makes sense. PLease help.
