I think the best place would be the back of instrument panel on the bus bar connected to the fuel gauge. Its "on" with the key run position. Other available engine bay only points would be power to regulator, ballast resistor and horn. make sure horn doesn't work with key off.

I tapped into the leading edge (12v side) of the ballast resistor. gave me 12v key on power
