It's best that he finds out what caused the smoking and get that fixed before jumping any wires or he may not have a truck to worry about. If he has a points dizzy running a wire like you suggest will burn up the coil as they were designed to run on 9 volts as you know. Its too bad we dont' have any details.  I'm guessing the yellow wire from the ignition makes it a points dizzy.
