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.

the yellow wire from the ignition switch goes to the resistor for the heater fan assy so i don't know how that would have allowed you to start the truck?????
