Ignition Coil Hot Wire not Hot

Post by grandpas68f100 »

Working on my 68 f100 360 and don't have power to ignition coil. What is the easiest way to track where the issue is down? I have the wiring diagrams from FORDification but don't really know where to start? Is this wire fuse controlled? Where is it getting power from to start with? Any help or insight is greatly appreciated.

Connector D in the picture is where you want to start. This comes from the ignition switch. 16 A should be hot with the key on. As you can see this lead right to the ignition coil + side.
