1935 Ford Wiring at Ignition Switch

I may have the wires on the ignition switch mixed up. One is for the coil, the other, the battery. Can someone please tell me which wire goes to the "high and outside" terminal? It is the higher of the two terminals and is toward the outside of the car. I cannot see Batt or Coil marked anywhere on this box.

I honestly don't think it matters; it's only an on/off switch

Yes it does not matter, go with the length of the wire for a neat appearance.

Yeah, I see that, and even though one goes to the resistor and the other to the fuse, it doesn't matter; they are interchangeable.
