Hi all,
hooking up a Pioneer H/U in my '67 Catalina, and looking under the dash, I'm surprised by 2 things:
1) I can't believe the awesome condition of all the wiring in this car. It doesn't look like a 42 year old car.
2) I can't believe how everything is connected using pigtail connectors. It's all so neat and orderly!

So I'm looking for an "always-on" lead to connect to. I believe I've got a good lead for the "ignition-on" hot lead (blue wire from the original radio pigtail--radio doesn't work but the wire has power with ignition on).

I'm used to working on old Mustangs, and running wires through the firewall to simply hook up to the starter solenoid. But that won't work here.

Horn relay? Cigarette lighter? What do you guys think?

thx!

Horn relay is under the hood and you don't want to come through firewall.
You should have a hot all the time terminal in the fuse box, could tap in there to stop-light, cig lighter or parking light power.
Just have to pick one that stays hot with ignition switch in crank position.

I used the clock/cig. lighter circuit which is an orange wire on my 67 GTO.

Cool, thanks guys. I'll let you know how it turns out.

Orange wire for cig did the trick. She's blastin' away, now... WALL OF SOUND!

Thanks guys for the help!
