Switched Hot Wire
Which wire on the back of my 1967 is switched hot? I need to tap off something for my EPS. Or would it be better to tap a wire somewhere else (radio, heater, etc.). It needs to be under the dash

I would use the terminal on the fuse block on the right that is hot on ignition so it’s fused with the key on

There are extra terminals in the fuse box. Can plug in your connection there.
options for full-time, accessories or ignition….

Are you guys talking about one of these terminals on the right side? Are they all switched hot? Thank you for the suggestion

Those terminals on the panel are not "key on"(Ign/Accessory). Pwr Window is constant hot, and Acc lamps is for dash lamps.
Your best bet would be to tap off of the Brown wire under the dash which normally connects to a Radio Condenser(near right side of cluster as view from front). The wire will have a plastic housing with a spade terminal. You can simply remove the condenser terminal and make your own terminal to attach to the Brown wire terminal. edit... It's unfused so add your own.
This will be powered with key to Ign/Run or Acc(ccw).
