STILL can't get car started!! (no spark to coil)

[billbraskey]

ok still can't get spark to coil (85 gt replaced dizzy..coil...ignition module)...
so wen this all started and im unwraping the old tape of the wiring harness i notice the wiring harness from the module to the dizzy was cut in half? all the wire are connected with connectors... with one lose wire... and now ive pulled it apart trying to fix it and don't no how they all go not all the colors match up .. only a couple and the plastic peice that goes into the module has 4 wires coming out.. the one going into the dizzy..has 3..are does the extra wire go ?this car also has no emissions stuff at all or a/c that it originally had so there are alot of wires that go to notihng maybe its nohting? anyone have a good pic of this? or have any idea why im not getting spark .. besides this?

thanks . but the wiring diagrams don't tell me anything i don't already no .. .. its just the foot and a half peice of wiring harnes that goes fromt he dizzy to the module.. i dont no if there connected right.. or ware the lose wire goes...orr if this was even the prob to begin with before is tarted messing with it .. i really at a total loss here and cant get spark to coil

Check the following diagram of the DuraSpark ignition circuit (I'm assuming is an '85 Carbureted GT):

....the extra wire coming from the module (green wire @module connector) goes to the (-) terminal @the coil. This would explain why you don't get spark out of the coil. You also have to make sure the 3 wires that go to the distributor from the module are matched up right. Hope this helps.

motor relay solenoid....maybe

hmm thats joel that is very helpfull..hmm the green lose wire never went to the coil before..weird its suppose to ..(and yes it is an 85 carbed gt)ive got the harness infront of me..colors arent justt like the diagramthe end coming out of the module are relativly clsoe..but the end coming from dizzy with 3 hasorange..a wire that is purple of black .. i tihnk it is purple the other is like red with blue stripes.... not sure exactly what goes ware? annnnnnnd what aboutt he wire thats in the harness that goes to the negative side of coil now?? its always been there.. put both on? sorta confused. thanks for all the info

 

[billbraskey]

p.s whats a motor relay solenoid?

 

[billbraskey]

anyone have any idea why the colors don't match up .. or arent all the same?

Im not sure why the wires dont match up, but if you need to unload that used dizzy, let me know... as long as you have a 5-speed and the dizzy has a steel gear

haha thats is what i had sorry man i wold but it's autozones now
