Default Accessory wiring help.

I saw a thread about this before but could not find it with my search words.

I need to find the usual suspects to wire my meth controller.
12V switched and headlight/interior dimmer circuit.
Is there switched power around the center console area or a harness around the steering shaft to grab it from ?

Also need a way to run the harness inside the engine bay from inside.

Thanks

Switch controlled +12 can be grabbed off the brown wire under the steering wheel on the key switch.

Lift the wheel up and it is easy to get at.

This is what I ran my boost gauge off of.

I ran mine through the steering boot. Cut it with my knife and fished a coat hanger through to pull my wires.
