ignitioncoil hook up

I have a 351W in my 53 F-100. It's been sitting up for 5 years. I have taken the distributor out and ran the oil pump to pre oil every thing. Hooked up a new battery. Do I run a lead to the pos side of the coil from the battery and another one from the neg side to the dist for fire? Or just run one steight from the pos post to the dist ?

For negative ground run 12V to plus side of coil when switch is on. Negative side of coil goes to distributor...
