Put engine back in and won't start...

Hey guys, need to make sure i'm not crazy.

Brief history. One of my employees took out my motor months ago when I was restoring my vert. He was supposed to wait for me, but figured he would surprise me. Anyone the dude quit on me weeks ago and disappeared.

I have since gotten the motor back in, but i'm stuggling to find all the bolts and where the wire harness all goes.

Anyway... car turns over and over with nothing. Shouldn't there be a second plug for the coil?

It is non existant... Could dude have sabotaged me?

Yep and mine is black, which is factory. Trying to remember. One comes from the wiring harness and I think the other comes from the ignition module under the cap. Someone else chime in - I can't remember!

Updated the profile.

One of the problems I'm facing too is that the person I got the car started as a 5.0TBI Automatic and is now a 5.7 TPI Manual. So there is alot of wire splices and cut wires everywhere.
