What the switch does is allow electricity to get from the battery to the coil when the switch is on.So you could run a wire from the side of the battery thats not hooked to ground to the side of the coil thats not hooked to the distributer,and it would bypass the switch and run.You would need to unhook it when it stopped running or it could burn the points.
Now it could be that the starter is hung up like others said,rock it in gear till fan moves or take it loose.Or pull it.
If you have a test light hook it up on the switch on the terminal that goes to the coil turn the switch on and see if the test light lights up,if its already lit up before you turn the switch on,take wires off of the other side until it goes out.If it goes out and you still have a wire on that side,maybe you just need to put them on the other side.What you want is the test light to light up when the switch is on and go off when the switch is off.If you only have one wire on each side of the switch to start with it gets more complicated.What you have to figure out is if there is a wire that somehow is getting juice to the coil from the battery without going thru the switch first.
Anyway the side of the coil thats not hooked to the distributer needs to have juice on it with the switch on,and no juice when the switch is off.
Maybe just get that circuit working first,then try and figure out the alternator,lights,whatever else you have,ammeter,voltmeter.
