Default HEI 12V backup source (yes another 12v question!)

Well I’m running a Davis HEI and was expecting to easily run a 12 gauge wire off my fuse block from the IGN spade but found it was a hole with no connection! What’s my next option?!! See pic of fuse block. THANKS

I power the HEI (and other things) off a relay triggered by the original ignition feed. The lower voltage is plenty to turn on the relay.
