Finding switched 12 volt source

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.

In that case it’s very simple. Connect it to the factory coil + wire. That wire will be “hot” in run and crank. It really doesn’t get any less invasive into the factory wiring harness or easier than that.

Yep, Cal Tonsley posted the diagram that woke my dumb *** up. Mattax posted similar stuff, but I’m quite slow on the uptake.

I should be able to have the box wired up today.

Thanks for everyone’s help!

I forgot to mention I hate electrical and wiring crap almost as much as I hate painting a house, and that a big hate!
