This way would not have worked for my second jump Saturday morning (read here:
https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showthread.php?t=93137 ) because the battery was too dead to even fire the coil. Had to jump battery to battery as others have said. Connect batteries while starter button is pushed in and disconnect as soon as starts. Always works fine. (Of course, I always push start it if I can before resorting to a jump from 12 volt.)
