Ignition question Swap wiring.

Sorry I have been searching the internet and I cant figure out how or where my switched ignition is going to come from. I am doing a swap in my 66 Chevelle but am not going to use a key in the column. I bought a keyless RFID kit and I am in the process of installing but I have no clue where the Switched ignition will source from.. I will pull constant from battery power distribution block that I have for all of my constant powered items. I also have a power distribution block for switched power But I have no idea where to pull switched power from. The alternator? Again I have searched but I am a rookie at vehicle electronics. So basically I need to know where to pull main switched ignition power with out a key? Please help me people of LS world.

Thanks in advance
Jon

Same place you are getting your constant power from.Sounds like you will need to control your switched power block with a relay that is toggled on by your keyless kit.

pull swithed power from the power distribution block you mentioned. If that block is energized after the keyless is energized, there is your source. Make sure it is fused properly.

thanks for the replies. Here is what I am dealing with now.. behind the mess of speghetti wires lies relays attached to a 6 block fuse panel.. I will be pulling each constant power (fused connections) to this block. Another 6 block fuse panel will be housing fused switched power. I also put in 3 main power distribution blocks for main power and ground and switched but I am rethinking the switched non fused power distribution block. My keyless ignition is asking me for a acc (+ switched ignition) and also ON1 (+ Constant) ON2 (+ Constant) Also a SWITCHED ON ( + Switched ignition)

I am assuming that I can NOT pull power from the PCM from a tiny little 18 gauge wire. to power my entire Switched power fuse block?

I am just trying to get on the correct path to execution of this wiring. This wiring and lying on my back is killing me.
