Since you are mounting the power distribution box and the relays next to the battery, tap the 32 wire right off the small threaded terminal on your starter relay. And for the #16 wire, take the positive wire from the oem coil terminal and re-route it. The other option would be to use the 2 wire plug attached to the old duraspark ignition module on the drivers fenderwell.

You can't use circuit 32. If you tie a hot in run circuit together with the hot in start circuit 32, then as soon as you turn the key to run the engine is going to start cranking.
Stick with using 20 and 16. The cleanest way to do it would be to pull the wiring at the ignition switch and bypass the resistor.
Next best would be to get the red/lightgreen from the original coil, and the white/lightblue from the original ignition module, and twist them together to feed your new ignition circuit.

Thanks a million Franklin. You are a wealth of knowledge. I'll take that suggestion of going directly to the ignition switch.
I momentarily forgot I was already going to use 32 as a trigger for the PMGR relay.
