I have a 70 Cuda that I have installed Power windows, electric fan, electric fuel pump, radio with nav system, twin pump air ride suspension and cruise control. All of these require a hook-up to the IG switch. I have installed a gang channel in the drivers side kick panel area so that I can run individual wires to each load but I'm not sure where the beat place is to pick up the power. Any suggestions?

Off a relay powered straight from the battery. Hook the coil of the relay to any switched 12V source on the car. That way the load doesn't go through the bulk head connector which was not built to handle that kind of load,

With all that added stuff you probably want a "continuous duty solenoid" Any good parts store/ marine/ motorhome joint will have them.

If you want to trace out a wire go here.

Allen Here's a novel idea, let's not throw a bunch of parts at the car hoping it will fix the problem and instead spend a little time diagnosing it first. Life was a little easier when I was just a wrench.

Before you start hooking those kinds of loads up to your factory wiring, you may want to read the articles found here.

There's a wealth of sound information on this site, and it will help you design and build a safe reliable and well thought out upgrade/addition to your factory harness.
