The violet wire should go from the starter side terminal to the + side of the coil so that's wrong but it should run without that anyway. Turn the key on and see if a bulb will light when grounded and touching the coil + terminal. Here's a 1955 wiring diagram that should be close enough.

Try to post in the electrical forum for this stuff and going thru the archives there should help you get every wire in it's place. Good luck.
