Mk1 Cortina No power to Distributor

[TER2BO]

Hi I have a 1965 Gt Cortina Group N Race Car. Its been in storage but could not start it prior to that after having new extractors made and fitted.

I am going thru the car step by step but seem to have come to a problem.

As part of these steps I have a new battery, a new gear reduction starter motor.
Orginally had a Ballast Performance Coil and 1.6 omh resistor ,Ignition Delevopments modified Bosh Distributor (no vaccum) and NGK BE 9ES plugs.
I had not been able to get any spark from the Distributor.
I have since replaced the Coil and the Resistor and changed the points to Electronic but still have no power going to the distributor.
I have followed and double checked the wiring diagrams supplied to fit the Starter and Electronic Ign. module but with no success so far.
The only major change to the electrics was the swap of the main starter lead to the positive side of the solenoid and the activation wire to the starter to the other side of the solenoid. But the car may of had this problem after the exhaust fitment. Before that it started.
As the car cannot be moved at the moment any ideas or help would be appreciated.

Is coil still a resistor type with the resistor in series with it.
If so....
Do you have ignition power before feeding thru resistor

Have you fed ignition power to ignition module from point before feeding power thru ballast resistor assuming module requires 12volts to operate

Pulse wire from ignition module to negative side of coil

Wires from starter push on connections should be one to operate cranking and the other feeds to the coil side of ballast to bypass ballast when cranking

11Ford11,
Thanks for the quick response. Yes the old and new coils are ones that require a Ballast resistor.
I have power on both sides of the resistor.
The pulse (black) wire is connected to the Neg. side of the coil.
I will check again to make sure the other wires are in place as you mention.
Just adding to what I already posted I am not getting any power out of the Main Coil to distributor lead. Hence no spark.

Disconnect coil wires and put a test light (not a led one) make by soldering a couple of wires to a flasher globe and check for pulse when cranking

If you have pulse check for faulty coil - coil lead - missing carbon brush or rotor down to earth

If no pulse check for faulty wiring - module or distributor pick up

Verify you are not loosing power to coil when cranking

Just run a lead from the battery to the coil then try to start it.Won’t do any harm running for a couple of minutes without a resistor
