Wiring question.

Ok guys i know this is probably simpler but im double checking here.

IM wiring my car up with a race car panel. So you start the car with a push button. But i still want a way to have an anti theft.

I want to wire My ignition though the key so thats the only way to arm it.

In that harness that runs to the steering column is there a hot 12 key source i can tap into ????

I know i can check with a test light but !!! at the moment i cant power up the car. is there a specific color wire on the key switch i can use?

Anyhelp is appreciated. Trying to wire it up as much as possible before i power anything up but i know it can be done later.

On the ignition switch at the base of the steering column, there is a big red wire that is a constant +12V from the battery.

The heavy pink wire is +12V when the ignition switch is turned on.
