Pamlico,
Here's a link to a '58 wiring diagram...
And ignoring the NSS because you have a manual trans, but including that Red/blue wire.

The wire to the "S" terminal on the solenoid from the key switch should be Red/blue, and the wire on the "I" terminal is dark brown or black.
The Red/green wire from the 'run' position of the key switch goes thru the ballast resistor to the '+' terminal of the coil.
