yeah thats connected right, got power coming into the coil, coil works to as i put it on old v8 and it turned that over so plenty of power in it. i tried putting a plug on the end of lead from coil and no spark still. so nothing coming out of the coil. i havent a clue now, all i can think of i engine earth? do i need to earth it somewhere to chassis, only current earth i have is going from starter to battery, then goes from there to bulkhead

The coil needs to be earthed. Take the paint off and have bare metal showing where the coil bracket meets the car body.
