Default Wiring to run engine on stand

I am at the point where I am ready to test run my engine. What wiring is needed to accomplish this task. I am running a 12V negative ground system with FS electronic ignition, alternator, and gear reduction starter. The engine was run for 3 hrs. when built for break in and dyno test. My thoughts on wiring is as follows:

1. Neg. side of battery to ground on engine
2. Positive side of battery to starter solenoid
3. Other side of starter solenoid to starter
4. Starter solenoid to ignition switch
5. Wire from distributor to positive + side of coil
6. Wire from distributor to negative - side of coil
7. Wire from distributor to ground
8.Wire from battery to battery terminal side of ignition switch with fuse ( as recommended by FS Ignition Systems
9. Wire from alternator to battery side of starter solenoid.

Is this all? Does this sound correct? Any ideas? Suggestions?

Thanks for your replies.
