1955.2 Chevy truck with aftermarket updated wiring harness and an owner that is just learning electrical stuff.
I'm wiring up my Old Air A/C system and there are two wires that need "key on" power. One says just connect to "key on" power and the other says to hook it up to a "spotlight key on" power at the insulated fuse box.
What in the world do they mean by "spotlight"?
Can I just splice these two wires together and run them off one of the ACC connectors on the fuse panel?
Or do I need to find two separate fuse box connections for each wire?
Or can I use the wire that is labeled "electric fan" from the fuse box as I am not currently or planning on using it for an electric fan?

I would be asking the Old Air techs these questions.

I found the A/C wires in some of the accessory bundles so I used those. I could barely read A/C and A/C fan on the two wires. The fan goes on and nothing melted so everything is A OK.

It seems like I always have a question after hours or while I'm at work where I can't call a tech line... so thats why I throw it out to you guys.

Seems like I'm the only one with an Old Air Products A/C unit. Anyone have one installed? I think the Vintage Air would have been easier to install, but got this one at a discount through BrothersTrucks.com.
