Re: kill switch (MNJack)
BTW, I know tha battery is under the hood thru 1967, so was 1982 the last year for the battery behind the seat? Is it strictly a "Shark" thing? MJ

Re: kill switch (SharkAttack)
run all your wires to the dist. in a wire loom, and hook up a toggle switch to the hot wire going to the dist. put the toggle under dash,,,,also you can reroute your fuel line to next to the drivers seat and use a fuel cut off valve,,,if they do get your car started by the time the car uses up all the fuel in the bowl they will be in the middle of the road trying to figure out what in the heII is wrong, get scared, and run off in fear off getting caught :)

Re: kill switch (jetech)
I pick up all the old Sears garage door openers I can get my hands on...
the receiver and xmitter boards are usually good....
I use an old set code receiver board to activate the computer on the DPFI, and to run the car, need hit a special button on the garage door opener....
so I can actually leave the keys in the car, take the opener, and let them fumble around.....the wiring is pretty well convoluted and hidden, along with the receiver....and the color codes are all switched around, another advantage of doing your own wiring harness.....;-)))....
they want this car, they need to tow it.....nothing beats a hook....

Re: kill switch (jetech)
I put mine on the firewall sticking through to the wipper compartment, just jump out, slide my hand under the rear of the hood and flip the switch. Hidden and no one knows it is there, also comes in handy when working on the engine.

Re: kill switch (jetech)
The best anti-theft devices are the ones you devise yourself. If you buy it, they know about it. But do something on your own, and it's a whole different ballgame.
Unless they have a tow truck, as previously mentioned. :(

Re: kill switch (jetech)
Thanks for all of the ideas. I just put a down payment on a red 77 from Bayou Corvettes. I am looking forward to getting it home and driving it some before it snows. :D
