I have two really nice buckets I want to install in my 66 Valiant, but they are power. Is my best option to run a wire all the way from the battery with a inline fuse? And if so, what size should both the wire and the fuse be? Do I need to run a separate wire for each seat? Thanks!

If your car is like mine , it has spare unused terminals in the fuse block . Just install a new terminal in your existing block . Thats how I did my seats and locks in my '73 Swinger .

Just make sure you use the correct gauge wire for the amperage draw of the motors. A separate fuse or circuit breaker would be helpful.

Items like power seats usually employ a circuit breaker instead of a fuse.
Circuit breakers are readily available from most auto parts stores. Last year I adapted the power seat track setup from a early 2000s Durango into my 67 Cuda convertible using a circuit breaker. I can't remember what amperage I used, it's either a 20 or 30 amp. I fastened it to the side of the brake pedal mount and connected it on the + side of the amp gauge.
