Well, the "S" wire will make the starter run, but you won't have any power to the coil without the switch on or a separate power wire to the coil.

so what wire goes to the + coil oldf100fordman

You need to go to your public library and take out a book.

+ on the coil is switched power,then another wire to the positive will be the balast resister wire,,,and negative goes to your distributor points.
