Not sure what you know or don't know, so first off, Ford 6v systems are positive ground. The positive (+) battery terminal connects to the ground and the negative (-) terminal is power connection. How the engine is wired up on a test stand depends a lot on how you want to do it! I can tell you how I would do it, I would use a starter solenoid and a voltage regulator.

You would need a battery with some type of mount for it.

A starter solenoid

A pushbutton for the starter solenoid

A switch to turn the ignition on and off

A voltage requlator for the generator.

This is assuming you want to run the engine on the stand for an extended period of time. To just fire it up for a short period of time it could be much simipler. If this is the type of setup you are looking for, I will draw you up a wiring diagram.
