You cannot run an engine without a coil.
What kind of ignition switch do you have (or, will you be trying to start without an ignition switch)?
Assuming you have an ignition switch with a "key start" (meant for a solenoid starter). I think all 1960 switches were "key start".
Depending on your solenoid, you usually connect the battery positive lead to the ignition switch and to the solenoid.
You connect one solenoid lead to the coil.
You connect the battery ground lead to the frame or to the block.
Turn the ignition switch and the battery will crank.
Release the switch when the engine starts.
Turn the key off to shout off the engine.
