ignition-on power supply to fuse box

[cam1602]

In the final steps in the process of preparing for the 24 hours of lemons. Almost had the car ready for a test drive over labor day weekend. One of my buddies took it upon himself to clean up the steering column of unnecessary wiring and got a bit too ambitious with cleaning up the old wiring that we are not using and killed the power supply to the fuel pump! The car stared and ran long enough to get out of the driveway and on to the street, then died in front of the house. What I’ve determined is that the ignition-on power to the fuse box was cut. I’ve found an ignition-on power source but not sure which led to connect to in the fuse box. So can anyone supply instructions or diagram on how or where the ignition-on power supply is connected to the fuse box?

TIA

On a six fuse car, fuses #5 & 6 are only hot with the ign on.

On roundie 12 fuse cars, it's fuses # 3, 4, (low beam headlights), 9 (heater) 10 (rear window defogger), 11 (instruments, tii fuel pump) and 12 (horn, wipers, backup lights)

On squarelights, it's 3 (r. window), 4 (htr), 5 (wipers/brake lights), 9/10 (low beams), 11 (high beams), 12 (instruments, auto choke)

And of course you can always wire it to the ign terminal on the ign switch with an in-line fuse.

71 1600-02 with round tail light. It is the 6 fuse type like the attacehd pic of the fuse box. So I can re-wire the ignition-on power supply to the back side the fuse box using connection points 5 or 6 out of a total of 10 points? Correct.

Thanks for your feedback

"output" side of the fuse box so that the fuse is between the 12 volt source and the load. With the ign turned on, use a voltmeter or test light on either side of the fuse with it in place and then removed to determine the output side.
