Finding switched 12 volt source

Now I'm lost.
I thought you were looking for a switched power source to turn on the box?
Are you now asking about the main power? No switch, no fuse. Direct heavy wire to a power source.
Mallory shows it to the battery, but note it can be any place in the line such as the starter relay (or for a Ford, the solenoid).
Also on the first page it says it does not matter if the ballast resistor is present on not. So its same as the MSD

This diagram is most representative of a Chrysler distributor.
When it says ballast not used here, its in reference to the coil. The Hyfire needs to be directly wired to the coil - no ballast in between.

My bad...I’m talking about the switched 12 volts not the big wire to power the box.

If I’m remembering correctly, the big wire powers the box and the 12 volt switched wire is what turns the box off with the key.

I wired this same box to a 67 Firebird about 4 years ago and it was much easier. I just replaced the factory resistor wire with a regular wire and hooked it to the box.
