there are several places to take the 8v, i remove the pin from the plug slip a diode in the pin banded end to wire and connect straight to the track comming from the regulator on side of radio, that way it can be easily put back to stock and no cut wires, it also keeps the voltage close to original rit volts which keeps near exactly the same shift range and does not move the rit centre frequency much, that has always worked 100% for me on the lincolns and emperors.
