Hi Jams,
I got the job about halfway done today.
Finding wires under the dash is an absolute nightmare.
After poking around under there a bit I realized there is no way I'm going to find (and splice into!) the wire I need.
So I went back to the engine compartment, unwrapped the tape from the wiring harness where the injector wires come out.
I found the black/red wires coming from each of the injectors, but I couldn't find wherever the junction is that they join to become one wire.
I knew from the schematics and what I observed that these are the common hot. So I took a chance, cut them and joined all 4 of them together on both ends of my cut. Then I used a 14 ga twinlead wire to take each cut end into the cabin.

For now the ends of the twinlead inside the cabin are soldered together, but my next step is to set up a relay to open and close the circuit with a small control switch on my shifter.

Then I hooked the battery back up and....It runs!
I re-taped the wiring harness and got everything put back together and now the rest of the job is inside the car.
I took a good bunch of pictures and I'll post them soon.
