FYI the brown 12 gauge wire on the key switch powers the fuse panel for the wipers, heater, turn signal switch, and maybe a couple of others. Thats a lot of current to draw from the key with the ignition and The key switch feed to the fuse panel.
A direct feed to a distribution block might be an overload for the key switch. I would recommend feeding a relay for the distribution block from the key switch.

The IGN UNfused terminal would be ideal for the relay power coil.
