This isn't a good route to take. You are trying to pull way to much on one circuit. It's like plugging in a 4 outlet extension cord and plugging 4x six outlet power strips to it, and then plugging in 24 devices. If you want to run a second fuse box,wire it to the battery,if you need keyed circuits run a relay to the battery,to the key circuits you need in the fuse box and trigger the relay,or relays from the ignition switch,or alternator exciter lead,depending on if you need it just switched or only on with engine running.I went the other route. Found a solid fuse in the panel and linked the blue wire from the distributor to that. I had it wrong at first and the truck wouldn't turn off because it was hooked to a battery fuseable lead LOL! Boy did I learn something tonite. Next step is to take that same lead and run it as power to a new fuse bank and wire all my needs from there on the proper fuses. Radio, fuel pump, lights for tach, voltage meter, auto choke and oil pressure and tach. Wish me luck. For now, that original wire is still running the fuel pump and auto chocke until the switch happens.
