She runs!!
The 'braided' wires were throwing me for a loop but they are not needed! You can simplify the wiring as per the diagram above and she will run! (The wiring allowed for a spark at the points when they were opened).
It didn't fire, but I knew the points were rotten, changed them. Ran first turn!
Thank you to everyone who posted and contributed, I learned soo much. I know what most of the wires in the engine bay are/do and alot of the fuses (don't ask).
