[DeTomaso] Any issues with running positive and ground for EFI through the center counsel?

I run a voltmeter, so wasn't not top of mind for me.
There are a lot of noise-sensitive boxes that ask for battery connection 
with minimal-length and a specified gauge.
The belief is that the battery is the best filter in the car.

   After all, it is the alternator that ultimately supply all power and
   taking power from the battery will make the ammeter show the EFI
   current incorrectly as charging.
   If you really want to use battery power you can take that from the
   battery cable on the starter relay, but it is wrong in my opinion.
