hey guys, i recently completed a 350sbc swap. im not the best at wiring so i bypasses my old harness and just hooked everything up to switches and a button for the starter. I cant find anywhere how to give power to my fuse box so all of my old stuff like headlights work. I believe if i splice power to the original ignition wire than all my fuses will have power. is this true? as of right now the jeep ecu is not in cuz its carbureted and do not need it. any help would be great, I am stuck
 
Your ignition switch wire doesn't have the amperage carrying capacity to support all that. The fuse box you are adding should connect directly to the + post on the battery. There are ways to use that ignition switch wire to trigger a relay to power items that need to be shut off with the ignition switch but that's going to take a little help from someone familiar with electrical wiring, relays, etc.
