High side of fuse box?

First off, let me hold up my hand and admit that I am an electrical idiot. I'm installing Surco's headlight relay and the instructions say to connect a couple of wires to the "high side" of the fuse panel. On my 72, the fuse panel is vertical, so there is no "high side" like there is on an SC. Any tips on which side to connect to?

Bart,

The high side refers to unfused/direct battery bus. You can use the small M5 accessory screw on the battery positive connector ... if your car still has the OEM battery connector on its' battery.

I have the Sucro relays also, please post pics of your installation when it's done. I would like to see where you mounted them. Thanks.
