Killswitch

Be careful not to accidentally swotch the switch off while the car is running though, because it will shut the car off. If you have a MSD box, your going to want to slice into the green wire running from the MSD box to the ignition coil.

yes that is the wire I was talking about. I was trying to figure out the color of it.

Anyone know of any way to lock a fiberglass hood that uses the pins, not the factory hood latch?

I thought of using the locking hood pin sets by Mr Gasket, but they say they MUST be used in conjunction with the factory hood latch system. Is that complete BS or a valid warning?

I'm at a loss, I'm gonna put the kill switch in next week, but if anyone can open my hood, they could always do something ignorant like cut the plug wires, bend the fuel lines or something.

my suggestion, dont put the kill switch on the wire to the ignition system, if someone knows what they are doing they might be able to easily track that wiring, find the splice, and the kill switch. Especially in your car with an open engine bay, and not alot of wiring. Instead, find the fuse circuit that feeds the ignition system, and install the swich splice under the fuse box on the power side of that fuse, and then run the wires out with the rest of em so it dosnt look obvious. then run the wires into the car, and if need be back to the trunk, but one that ive heard of that i liked was benith the removeable ash tray.

ooo you could put the switch on the main power wire that goes to your fuse box so nothing at all gets power enless the switch is turned on, enless its something thats direct to the battery....wait is there a fuse for ignition? wel if not go for 89 irocs idea...or just go with his anyways if you like it better...but yeah i agree with the switch under the removabole ashtray. my girlfreind showed me that in my car...she said i could hide stuff in there and pointed out that it came out.....kinda odd but whatever
