The two wires are in your engine compartment already. The brown one is hot when cranking, the blue is hot in run. The way the switch is constructed, the blue wire gets power before the brown loses power. Tying those two wires together is how most MSD boxes are wired. :2cents:

ok, ill give that a go. The engine wire harness is completely removed at this point but I suppose I can re-purpose it and strip out all the voltage regulator, alt, etc stuff. It may make like easier

It isn't wired in yet (dash is still out), but yes, that is the plan; all power will come through the master. I will also have a battery disconnect switch that will be hidden.

The switches themselves are generic toogle switches available anywhere. The part you can see are the offroad/marine covers. I get my switches from places like Del Electric, a lot of the stuff you buy locally is cheap.

I got the plate from Speedway (I think, or maybe Ebay); either way I modified it to fit the opening.
