Default Help me out...a/f guage

Hey guys, I need some help since I don't have a test light. I'm trying to hook up my Autometer air/fuel guage. What I need to do is this..."Locate a power source for the gauge with the ignition switch in the on position only." Would someone be able to tell me which wire to use? Thanks in advance.

Ummm, umm, shooooot, first thought about stereo but that also works in aux. Then thought about the cigarette lighter but that also works in aux. I am not sure what you would use but if you don't care about the guage working while the car is in aux then just wire it up to those or come up with a better title so people know what there looking at when they browse by the topics.

It doesn't hurt to use the cig wire btw. Kind of cool to see the A/F meter do it's dance before you start the car anyway.
