That sounds like it'll work, but not 100% sure.

Just checked Chiltons and there's a pink wire coming from the ignition switch. You should be able to access this wire under the dash. This is the same one I tapped into for two of my cars I converted to hei from points type distributor. It should work as long as it's only hot with the key on. I also read on another thread to put a 15 amp inline fuse on this wire. Sounds like a good idea.
