Bad Dream... kill switch...

I have been wanting to do this as-well, here is a good one that i have been reading.

The purple wire would be the one that sends power to the solenoid. If you want it tied to the starter that would be the wire to tie into.

I think the distributor is easier, the car will crank over still and the thief would just end up thinking your car is a piece of sh*t that doesnt run and maybe run off. I think if you tie it into the starter and he turns the ignition and gets nothing, then he might realize there could be a kill switch

I would just run a kill switch to the hot terminal on the distributor. If i leave my car sitting out, i reach under the hood and disconnect the hot on the dizzy. That way, it will just turn over and not fire.

My buddies car has about 5 switches scattered throughout the car, connected in series that operate a relay, which operated the hot on the distributor. His battery is also in the trunk.

The switches are like a "combination lock". So even if someone found them all, it will take them a hell of a long time to get the combination right.

He only ever uses the one under the dash. But there is another one under the dash, one on the dash right next to the steering wheel, there is also one under the rear bumper, one under the fender.

If you want to be really sneaky, you should operate 2 switches each time you park.

If you do it this way, make sure to take your time to run the wires in a protected and dry place. You dont HAVE to use a relay, but he did to ensure the ignition source wasnt running all over the car. Plus if you ever have an iginition issue, its easier to bypass the relay at 1 location, rather than chasing switches all over the car. (Dont put the relay right next to the hot wire either, cuz then is just as easy for a thief to bypass it).

You can run a switched ground wire to the tach terminal on a HEI dist. that will keep the ignition module from letting the car start. Its simple and you don't have to worry about a "Hot" wire shorting anywhere in the car. 8)

I never knew that, that's a nice way of doing it.

Thanks magik420 for referencing my Stolen thread.

If you look at that thread, there is a video by Stacy David (first post). Pretty cool. I like the Dizzy switch idea and seems the easiest as well.

Dreams, especially recurring ones, are symbolic. The symbols refer to people/things/events, depending on what the symbol means to you -- but the feelings are identical to the actual circumstance it represents. I can interpret dreams, if you PM me more details, everything you can remember. However, generalizing, it seems you are worried about people either bad-mouthing you or they are trying to do something that will cost you financially (material possessions or job, etc).
