Could give me anyone a tip where is the best place to grab ignition 12v+ and wire a kind of distruptor terminal on it?

its not like i didnt find any wire which provide it but they all on terribel places (like engine bay front)

i need something to hook up my fancy Megasquirt stuff, E-Fan,JAW wideband, etc

sounds like you plan on running a lot of power off of the ignition 12v. if so, you probably need to add some relays to prevent burning out your ignition switch. use the 12v from the ignition to energize the relays.

good idea

so i could run only 2 wires from bay to my terminal

yes, just like that. put the relays/terminal blocks wherever they fit the best and stay dry. good luck!
