Okay, that seems to be my problem. I only have 1 hot wire (12v) I am measuring using a test lamp at this time.
I can't get continuity on 3 terminals on the relay however, and im only getting 12v from one connector on the relay plug.

My relay looks nothing like that at all.
My pins aren't staggered, their in a straight line. I have three in one row, two in another.

I dont know what the problem is, im getting two 12v sources if I manually make the relay work, but even then, the engine wont start when cranked. When I turn the key on to RUN, nothing at all happens.

All the fuses and fusible links are good. Verified twice.
Not sure about power to the coil. Im still trying to figure out why turning my ignition key on will not activate the ECM relay. However, when I activate it myself, it looks like all is well but the engine will not start.

More than likely you have lost the fuse link G down behind the battery and fender.
Here is a Diagram:

subford: How do I verify for certain Im not getting any power from the ignition switch?
pfogle: what is the TFI? I've replaced the module with the big black plug that sits on the side of the distributor already. Which one are you talking about and where is it located?

If yes you are getting power, if not you are not.

I can't say, I dont have a radio. Its a cargo van that was stripped for bucket installation, and the radio was one of the things they took out for some reason. I can tell you that the engine cranks over, and the gauges on the dash move when the key is turned on, such as battery voltage, and fuel.
As pfogle mentioned the TFI, I found a picture of one and it is in fact the electric distributor mounted module.
Now, I do know for a fact that the screw that is closest to the connector has since disappeared. Could this be related? Could it not be grounding because the screw is missing?
