I assume you mean the primary wire to the coil? If so, it's probably a failure of the ignition switch.
If you don't have one already, install a battery cutoff switch - highly recommended!!

If you don't have one, there is a much better wiring diagram on the PAC site than the one here.packardclub.org/ If that is the wire O_D mentions, then can only be the switch because that wire has it's own terminal on the switch.

TEll us more about the switch. A picure would be nice. Is it a new, used or reproduction ignition switch???? Is it identicle to the switch that was replaced????
Maybe just install the old switch or take it apart and fix it.
