Default Bosch Blue Coil Wiring in 1964 Amazon Wagon

This is probably pretty common to most early Volvos, but just wanna get the wiring part correct. I am replacing the ignition switch and coil in my 64 Wagon. Currently there is only one wire going from the coil to the distributor. The power from the ignition switch is currently hard wired with the armored cable. So I am going to replace the ignition switch, run a new wire from the ignition switch to the coil, and then attach the existing wire from the distributor to the coil. So 2 wires is all that should be attached to the new coil, correct?
