Hey guys. I am in need of some help.
I recently purchased a 56 f100 project and am working on alot over winter break, Im 19 and in college.

I pulled the motor and am in the process of checking everything over. It turns over and i had the starter rebuilt so it is solid.
I cleaned the plugs, and cleaned up the carb with some carb stray so everything moves freely. I also have fresh gas in the primer bulb and a plastic line with attached to the inlet line for extra fuel
I have a botch coil off a volvo which i am using for the test run.
Of ya it does have oil. on the dip stick. (needs changing which will do once i get it firing.

Here is what i am wondering.

How do i need to wire the motor to get spark and power to the starter to start the crank? (wiring diagram or explination would be great.

The coil has the center plug and then two side connections, one with a 1 stamped next to it and one with a 15. which one goes where? can i hurt anything hooking up backwards?

Is there anything i should check that could cause me problems down the road?
