Ignition Module Wiring......Quick Question
Hey guys, my car is dead and its the ignition system somewhere. So here's my question, there are 4 wires that go into the ignition module 1 black 2 white and 1 pink. The black is ground, but is the pink hot? I only have 0.5V on the pink. Could that be my problem? Or is that normal?

Its a really nice voltmeter, auto scaling, so that's out of the questions. It really is 0.457 V. Is there a fuse or something that could be blown?? I'd like to check that before I jumper 12V to it.

My book shows supply voltage coming to the module from the coil , the coil does receive it's supply through a 10 amp fuse located in the fuse block at the right side of the dash, hot in start or run position of the ign. switch. hope that helps.

You are never going to believe what it turned out to be. I've got an MSD box with a little wire harness that plugs in between the vette wire harness and the coil. One of the connectors slipped off just enough to not make contact anymore and there went my 12V power. Just plug it back in and I'm now back in business.
