12V + Run Ignition Source

Anyone know of a good 12v + Ignititon Source with key in run only position on the right side of motor with 302. Prefer not to run wires across engine bay if I can help it. Need to make a connection around the battery area. The solenoid trigger is only hot when key is in start...and of course there are plenty of other constant 12 v sources near the battery. Any help would be appreciated. 1995 F150 4x2.

I was thinking that too... I checked a yellow colored one and it showed 12v with key off, and I check the green/red wire and it was showing like 2.6 volts, but I was swearing there was one there that was hot only in run.
