You don't give enough info to diagnose.
Is it turning over or not doing anything ?
You probable don't need a schematic you need a trouble shooting guide.
and for a car that old you should but a Chilton's manual

For the starting system, you'll have a battery cable on one side of the solenoid and the starter cable on the other. To test the solenoid, just use a short jumper wire from the positive side of the battery to the small post on the front of the solenoid (this should have a wire connected to it, it goes to your ignition switch).
If the starter turns over then you know the starter and solenoid are OK. If not, try connecting the battery cables together, if the starter turns over, it's the Solenoid or Ignition switch or fuse. You should also check to make sure you have the coil hooked up.
As for the charging system, you should have a flat plug that goes to the Volt regulator, the wires from there go to the battery, alternator and the dash (ignition and gauge). As for which wire goes where, you'll need a manual that shows the schematic. Fords will run without the alternator, the circuit must be connected though.
BTW don't bother with a Chilton manual, I used one once when I couldn't get a heater core out, the manual said to "remove heater core".........I knew that!
Hope this helps.

yup with that old of horse, the insulation on the spark-plug wires , distributor cap, could all have deteriorated, If I remember right the solenoid for the starter is on the fender well, so it is easy to get at. Do this, place the car in a very dark place in park of course (at night is preferable) have someone crank the starter, look for tiny blue arcs in the engine area, then spot it with a flash light. that might give you the source of the problem.

Check the wire running from the starter to the ignition. It may be fried

If it is original I would replace the point,s and condenser they are bad to go out and if it,is a V8 set your points on .17 with a filler Gage and check your distributor cap and see if it has any crack,s or moisture it you may need to be replaced to . Good Luck!
