Zac,
 
I think you're on the right track. The best place to pick up ignition feed under the bonnet of the 1600 is from the wire that connects to the input side of the ballast resistor. If you've removed the BR then you can pick it up from the +ve of the coil. You should only use this feed as a relay sense wire so you don't rob the coil or pull amperage through the ign switch. The unfortunate thing is the battery is a long way away from the coil so you've got a bit of neat wiring if you want to fit a relay over the other side, not impossible, the stuff that insulates the wiring in most late model cars in very neat.
 
If you are going to fit a relay on the drivers side to supply ign sense power the relay(s) for the fuel pump etc, you could also splice into the ignition wire that's behind the dash panel -- if you have a factory tacho it's the same wire that loops through the back of the tacho, you can then run it through the firewall to the relay. You could also use one relay to power all of this stuff, I wouldn't use a mini Bosch for this, rather something like a dual New Era with inbuilt fuses that rates 30amps x 2, keeps things neat i.e. one battery feed.
 
regards
Terry

Subject: ignition on feed

Hi list, where is the best place to take an ignition on feed from a 1600?
Can you get some type of 'splitter' so that you can neatly get a feed for stuff like fuel pump, dizzy, thermo fan, etc? I have looked everywhere with no luck.
 
Does that big black/white wire carry ignition on? What I want to do is cut that short, fit it to a box that splits it into 3 or 4 outputs. That make sense!? :)
 
cheers,
zac
