Question about kill switch
Ok I would like eventually put a kill switch into my car I have read alot about splicing into the neutral safety switch, fuel pump wire etc. My question is I plan on going from my stock ecm set up to a built carbed engine, after doing this I will be eliminating the ecm so how and where should I install the kill switch. If anyone has a set up on a carbed engine please tell me how you did it and post pics advice etc.

Re: Question about kill switch
Only takes out the starter ; easily bypassed
Also easily bypassed if you have enough time.
Best way with a carb setup is to ground the coil neg wire through a switch.
If you do a tidy job and hide the wiring correctly no amount of jumpering or bypassing will get the dist to make a spark ; next to impossible to find
All you do is cut into the white coil wire from the coil neg somewhere ( goes to tacho ) and run that to ground through a switch.
If the coil is hot wired direct from batt to bypass Ign switch as is commonly done by thieves;
power goes direct to ground and not into dist; No spark
