A 6 conversion followed me home this year

Now it's time to start fiddling with it and get it to start

History
Converted in mid 80's buy reputable shop
Owner also owned a custom car audio shop and used 6 as demo vehicle
At one time had 12 speakers, multiple amps, f/r radar, hidden radio, alarm, dozens of switches
Getty dash
PO sent it to body shop - sat inside for years
PO went bankrupt - shop pushed out back - outside....
Body Shop went under - sold to 944 guy who thought he could restore a 914.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Pedals frozen, most recent PO sprayed WD-40 or equivalent and stomped on the pedal..

2.2-2.4 w webers. Local shop that worked on it in the 80s said the PO kept coming back for more power. Cams etc...
Factory tank in red/pink primer
Has a quick 6 mount
Appears to be factory oil lines

Current state
I drug the car home

Unseized the webers
Pulled the gas tank
Changed the oil and cranked it a few times without turning the ignition on

Now it's time to get it to fart. With the ignition on, I have no voltage to the coil.

I can't locate a cd box to mds ignition. Just an alarm horn where the cd box would be.

The car needs pans, longitudinal s on both sides and I'm not going to fix the body...

Any suggestions on how to fire the engine without fiddling with the other electronics in the car?

Can I just run a wire from the pos post of the battery to the coil and fuel pump and use a remote starter?

Or do I need to jumper it at the relay board?
