You can easily determine whether you have "juice" to the ignition after you turn the ignition on, there is the little wire that comes from the wiring harness/ignition switch, you can put a meter on it where it attaches, you can see if you get negative 6V when you turn the key on.

As to where exactly that wire goes, I would have to go out and look at my car, , I am embarassed but I cannot remember exactly, but I will take a picture of it late tonight and send it, but I am far away now. As to whether it goes to the "-" or "+", well if it was an original 6v positive ground coil, yes it would go to the "-", if it was a generic 6V coil, you might want to connect it to the "+" side. But in general I would be careful to mess too much with what is in the car already, without understanding it. You could look at the wiring diagrams that are included in the Service Manuals posted on this website as well.
