Default Power?

Does anyone know which wire i can tap into that is constant WHILE CRANKING. Most wires will not have power while cranking, i need the one that does for my boost gauge so it 0s itself back properly. If it dont i will not get a accurate reading. Its a autometer dig boost /vac gauge. Thanks for any help Eric.

Thanks i will have to check that out. So it stays on during cranking? Every wire i check so far turns on then while cranking it goes off untill the car is started. Hopefully this works so i dont have to test a bunch more wires lol
