Where to hook up Battery wire for HEI?

Where do I run the Battery wire for the HEI distributor? Is there a place on the fuse panel?

I suppose this is a stupid question....when my wife came home after hauling lots o' kids around the other day, she shut off the 'burb and it wouldn't start again. I tried when I came home, figuring she'd flooded it. Nope. Tonight I found the "BATT" wire frayed and busted and still can't find the other end of the wire or where it was hooked up. A neighbor (who's a die hard mustang collector, president of the Montana Pony club, etc.) even came over and couldn't find it.

I ran another wire from the + terminal on the battery to the frayed end of the wire from the HEI and it started. I learned that it wouldn't shut off until I unhooked the wire. Duh. Dumb as a post, here.

Is there a good spot on the fuse box that's on/off with the key?

Thanks very much.
