No. What you describe above will not work.
If you want to connect a wire
from the junction box to the Batt terminal of the switch, then the second wire coming off of the switch (screw labeled Ign?) must go to the
Negative post of the coil.
Then connect the
shielded wire from the distributor to the Positive post of the coil. That's assuming your battery is installed with the Positive post connected to the frame (positive ground car, as original)..
There will be no black wire connecting from the terminal box to the coil with the above wiring scheme.
So that you understand what you are doing, the above wiring scheme is NOT the way Ford wired them from the factory. But it will work. It all starts with you deciding you want to connect a wire from the terminal box to the switch. Once you do that, the rest must be connected as I describe.
