Fuel Pump Relay

I recently installed a 4bbl in a 4.9L 300 and decided to install an electric fuel pump bypassing the mechanical one. However I am now running into problems with the wiring.

I have an 82 F-100. The basic package, nothing power, no A/C. I want to install a 4 prong relay between the battery and the pump but I cannot seem to figure out a wire to splice into that only gets power when the key is on.

I have the relay wired as follows.



I just cannot figure out where to hook up the #86 prong. The wire that should go to a computer or fuse box. I tried to tie it into the fuse box but it either ran constantly or not at all. I really need to get this working so if you can suggest a connection to make I would be greatly appreciative. Thanks.

Go to the fuse box and hook it to the wiper fuse or the blower motor fuse. That should be hot when the key is in run.
