The white wire goes to the coil primary, on the opposite end of the ignition switch line.

As you can see from the drawing you posted there is a white wire labeled tach.
Follow that wire to the firewall.
On the opposite of the firewall you should find it.
The ignition switch wire goes to the 12 V on your drawing.

Re: Coil Wiring
You've dug up the wrong spot. Its not in the steering column. That white wire is wiper control
It goes from the coil to the C100 (bulkhead near the booster) and into the dash harness. From there its a strait shot to the cluster
You need to be looking in the engine bay. Rear of the engine, near the dist on the coil. Should be two connectors with two wires each, gray body is the one you're after. One big pink wire and a small white wire. White is tach, pink is IGN
