A car's 12 volts is really between 13.6 and 15.8 when it's running. So
you need a regulated 12. Main voltage for a PC is 5 volts regulated, so
you'll need that. You said a SurvPC, so I doubt 3.3 will be needed, or
it's regulated on the mobo itself.

Or try the junkyard. The PC power connector is very common in a wide
range of electrical gadgets.
