Original equipment for the Thunderbird was a single point system, which can easily be verified by looking under the distributor cap. How many point sets do you see? The original equipment also used a resister wire to reduce the voltage at the points in the "run" condition. That is the reason why you need to run the red wire to the ignition switch - the place where you put the key..
