Default autometer boost gauge ignition wire?

autometer boost gauge, I know there has been a million topics on this but the search thing is down right now so...

Where is a good place to hook up my autometer boost gauge ignition wire too, remember it has to be live during cranking. I have no idea. I have a 2000Em1

Thanks

fuse box. wire it to something that gets power when u turn your car on.

this is an electrical gauge I assume, not mechanical?

the easiest way (not necessarily best)
is to wire it to a fuse of something that turns on when u start your car.

radio, fuel pump, etc.

look into your fuse panel you have some empty slots that are either constant or ignition on, try using a multimeter to test it.
