One option is you can tap the big red wire underneath the passenger side palstic trim near the windshield cowl(forgot the real name). This power goes on/off with the computer system of the car. Check out articles on how to wire up JB4, they use that method and I use the same for my port injection.

Are you looking for hot always, when accessories are on or engine on only? If the latter I hard-wired my radar detector to the front fuse box with an add-a-fuse. For the life of me I can't find the post where I named the fuse I used.
