Default Sierra cosworth distributer voltage help please

Sierra cosworth distributer voltage from the plug that goes in the side.
The positive voltage on mine is 5volts, I'm guessing this is sent from the ecu. I need to find out if this voltage is correct or should I have 12v :/.
Thanks Retro.

No, it's correct, thats the 'phase' sensor connector.

Does anyone know the voltage from the main plug inside the dizzy, phase sensor side.
I'm only getting .02 volts surely that's to low ?

It's a 0-5V scale, BUT the wires corrode inside the distributor, so make sure it's not bad wiring.
