Looking for a good Switched Power Source for Fuel Pump



I just remembered I don't have a coil.  Well not the stock coil I have a
coil pack off the TEC 2 so the coil was removed.  Anyone know where the
source to the stock coil comes from.  I'm not sure if the original wiring is
still there or not so I may have to back track to where the power came from.
