You need one hot wire going to the coil. This should come from one of the two terminals on the ignition switch, (the third terminal is always hot). assuming you have a non starting ignition switch, and the starter button is on the floor.
Then one wire from coil to distributor
and lastly you need a coil and plug wires.

That should be all the wires you need to make it run.
