Default Where to tap power for gauges?

Can anyone tell me where to tap power from for a few Autometer gauges? As much as I try, I just can never understand electrical ****! The car is a track only car with a switch panel starter. Can I run the wire to the ignition toggle?

You run the main power to the battery with a in-line fuse with it, then you run the dim light wire to a light switch or something that you would use to night.

EDIT: " Can I run the wire to the ignition toggle?" Yes, you can, I like to run all my gauges off a source of power that is off when the car is off
