Keyed 12v source.
 
Not the greatest at wiring, need help.

running an MSD box and Atomic EFI, I need to have a 12v source for both that supplies 12v in "on" and "start".

where would i start to find this?

Off the fuse panel under the dash. Just check which ones are keyed on with a multimeter or DVOM.

Pretty simple:metal:

Back of the switch. Purple will be your starter and pink should be you key on. Easiest way to double check it a cheap test light. There are also key on spots in the fuse box. You can also pick up a low voltage starter wire from your starter. I would not do this because you could cause your starter to burn up due to a lack of power since you are picking it up so close to the starter.

Every open spot in the fuse box it shuts off the EFI when cranking the engine over. So i think they only supply in the "on" position.

Very possible. Try the back of the switch. I think the key on gives you power the whole time.

I will check the pink wire, hope it has power on both start and on. If no I will have to run a wire off the battery to a toggle switch.
