Underhood Elecrtrical Supply
Where is the best place to get a continuous 12V electrical supply under the hood?
I believe 12V is available at the horn relay, but wondering if there is a better place.
I am installing an under the hood light in my 73 and need an electrical supply. I dislike looking into the dark engine compartment at night time so I will eliminate it on my 73 just like I have on my other vehicles.

How about running a wire up from your starter? Power all the time. It avoids another splice (i.e. future problem) too...

Why not the battery connection at the alternator? That leads directly to the battery. Its hot all the time. Definatly run an inline fuse.
