where should it be taken from ?

is it from alternator to the pole ?
or should it be a perm 12 post ?

The threaded post is the permanent live (heavy red wire).

This is my 1983 DF junction box.
All other petrols should be similar - just a bit more cluttered. :)

It should link the fat red from the alternator, to the fat red on the main body loom.
And as you can see the battery live feed for the manifold heater relay.
