Default 1986 K5 Blazer distributor wiring.

I'm looking for the hot wire going to the distributor and maybe a diagrahm. Seem to have lost power to the distributor. Engine turns over but ignition switch is gone and I need to see if the power is going to the distributor.

its a really big red wire that goes up into the right side (if your looking at it from the front of the engine) of the distributor cap.

there should be 5 all together. 3 that come off the distributor into the cap. then one that is 12volt positive and the other is for the tach. usually if you look right above where those 2 wires plug in, it will actually be written on the cap. says something like BATT TACH
