    I would tap off the current cigarette lighter fuse. Hot all the time. I cant get to my 72 to tell you what fuse it is. I always tap off the dead side of the fuse just in case. Then I still put an inline fuse in.

    Unless your worried on looks, I would run a seperate wire from Battery side of solenoid (protect with a in-line fuse) an hook up power plug

    Cig lighter wire

    It is pretty common for stereo guys to use that wire for constant power so that clocks and presets stay on, so that may be another clue. Unless I am thinking of another car, I believe the end of the wire has a 90 degree rubber insulator on the end, and the fitting on it is made to slip onto a bolt that projects out of the lighter.

    Cool.

    I had to reinstall my lighter when I got my 73(weird cause I don't smoke). It was simple and the power was a wire with a rubber L on the end.
