I use this one on all my Vettes and my John Deere. Advance Auto carries them in top mount and side mount. The quality is top notch. Its made of heavy duty cast brass, believe it or not...in America! Every **** style I've looked at seemed kinda flimsy and all came from China.

All the side mount **** styles need a minor modification to make them function nicely.
The blade types are nice units.
Both types are much safer if installed on the neg terminal.

I'm swinging by the parts store to get something like this. Currently, the ignition switch on my '81 is stuck in the run position. Luckily enough, my idle is not adjusted right so it dies if I take my foot off the gas (a subject for another thread), but once I get that fixed, it will be nice to not have to unscrew the negative cable while the car is running until I get a chance to dig in to my steering column.
