Default 1962 Cat wiring help

Unfortunately I misplaced my handy laminated wiring diagram..

The upper left hand side of my fuse panel has absolutely no power, it looks like a small solid green wire supplies 12v to the buss bar. Where should this wire get power from?

The dash harness is completely new so it’s puzzling why something isn’t working.

Also, as I understand it there are no switched ignition 12v power options without tapping into the ignition switch? Just trying to power some auxiliary gauges.

There are wiring diagrams online at the Old Car Manual Project website: http://www.oldcarmanualproject.com/t...ing/index.html

That’s real helpful, thanks. Looks like it gets power from the backup light/neutral safety switch. I have a manual transmission with floor shift column, is there a different harness or adapter needed for this?

Actually that is a light green wire, looks like that part of the fuse block gets it’s power from the headlight switch, dark green.

Easy fix, the switch harness was not fully seated.
