Looking for a key on 12 volt source for my msd.. According to the wiring manual that there is a black with yellow strip wire that feeds into the fuse block that is key on 12 volt.. But my wires are so faded I cant tell which one it is.. Anyone have any suggestions as to where I should splice in for a 12 volt source?

Do you know how to use a volt meter? If so, then just test the wires that run into the fuse box. Since this will be for your ignition (I assume) you're also going to want it to get power when it's in the key in start.

Isn't there a stud off the back of the ignition switch that is a 12v key on source? Maybe one of the more knowledgeable people can confirm or deny this
