Ignition Off Switch

OK, I asked this question about a month ago under a different name, I just got tired of the old one.
Anyway, the question was how to wire up a switch so I could turn off the ignition and keep potential theives from starting it. It was suggested to me to use the ignition wire, which would work, except that my car is carburated and this just floods the crap out of it. Is there a way to tap into the neutral safety switch and make the car think it's always in gear unless the switch is in the off position?


Thanks

It sounds easy enough. just open up your console & find the switch (I think it's there). If you have an automatic I'm pretty sure that's where it is. Another option would be to put a switch on the cranking wire. If it can't crank, it won't flood right?
