What kind of wire does a Ford coil need?
If you mean it “fires up” and roars into life as you start it but dies THE SECOND you let go of the key, your Ballast resistor is “fried” and it needs replacing.

Where does the resistor go in a Ford coil?
Before that, Ford put a thicker, pink resistor wire coming from the ignition switch, spliced into the wire that went into the coil (you only needed a certain length of resistor for the car, so that’s why you would only have such a short length of it. You would not want it to go all the way from the switch to the coil).
Do you need to wire the coil on the alternator?
In any case, you don’t want any extra wires attached to the + side of the coil. I agree with falconfred that someone has wired it that way to hide a charging system problem. After you get it wired correctly and running see if the alternator/charge light stays on while running.
