Here is an excerpt from the referring URL I posted-

The wiring diagram can be confusing, especially the ignition switch, for anyone using the FoMoCo Electrical Equipment Installation Manual for the first time.

The manual has been reproduced and is available from CTCI, item number110-25. The wiring is correct but the drawing of the back side of the ignition switch for the 1955 on page 18 and the 1956 on page 57 is not correct. It shows the post for the start wire (red/blue) #32 on the outer circumference of the switch with the other three post instead in the center as it was original made. The 1957 portion of the manual on page 99 corrected the drawing except for View F.
Take the time to read the article to ensure the switch is wired properly. If going to a new switch, try to find GENUINE FORD NOS -

IGN SW- B5A 11572-A (1952-1959 FORD-BIRD)

IGN SW Cylinder- B9A 11582-A
