Default ignition coil on different engines??

im almost done a motor swap in my escort from the 1600 kent crossflow to the 2.0 pinto ohc, now

me and my mates started troubleshooting why it wont start, there is no fuel getting to the carb and there is no power from the coil, aside from the fuel situation, heres the deal, im using the coil from the 1600 which i am not sure if it is stock or not, and i am not sure if i have wired it up properly, there is a black wire coming from the side of the distributer so i looked at the kent engine and it seems that the black wire goes to the negative side of the coil? is this right?

and can that coil work? is it to weak or something? the pinto came with a GT40 coil but it looks pretty dead, so i decided not to use it. any opinions?

i will take some pictures if requested!
