Good 12V ignition switched source under hood?
Howdy folks. So, I have a 1991 NA car, and I need to install a relay on it to run some electronics. I would like to drive the relay from a 12v switched source.
I can't make a great connection with the pin in the test plug that purportedly is ignition switched (dont have a mating plug, and electrical tape doesnt want to stick...), so are there any other good circuits that would be easy to tap into under the hood?
I thought I might be able to do it from the EGI fuse... turns out I was wrong!
Thanks,
Andrew

I knew I had a post on this. I correct myself: Its a tan wire, not yellow.
