To add on to what oldskool said, this also means that you do not have a constant hot wire running to the starter. The power stops at the ford type solenoid, until you turn the key to start then power runs to the starter. This link will show you a diagram of how the wiring should be and work. http://www.madelectrical.com/catalog/tm-1.shtml Also, look around there, a lot of good wiring info.
