3.) extend the thick red wire from the ignition barrel and attach it to the + of the battery.
4.) extend the slightly less fat blue and black wire from the ignition barrel and connect it to the smaller terminal on the starter motor.
when you turn the key the starter motor should now run and turn the engine over.
the big fat black wire on the ignition barrel is a + and goes to the fuse box to power all the rest of the electrics on the car. this turns on and off with the key.
the little yellow wire also + and is for things like radios etc and also goes on and off with the key.
all you then need to do is give the ignition module box a live feed off the black wire on the back of the ignition barrel. connect the ignition module to the dizzy coil pack and ballast resistor hook up the ht leads and it should run.
and finally forget relays you dont need them for this part of the electrics as all the switch gear is man enough to take the required currents.

Everything should already be there as part of the loom if it's not been chopped out.
Personaly... I will build a loom as I don't see the need to reuse the ford box and wires.
