From Ignition Switch - Wire - to the Starter
 

On my TBI 87 R10, I'm trying to run a kill switch. I want to splice into the wire between the Ignition Switch and Starter.

If anyone has a descriptive picture that would point to this wire.

Or know of another wire I can splice into to run the kill switch..

** All to slow down an unwanted theif trying to hot-wire the truck **

Thanks

just put switch on HEI dist wire, close to firewall for easy cab access

If you want to disable the starter, use the purple wire to "S" terminal. It's easiest to grab it at the starter rather than unravel wiring harness under the dash.

Another way to kill the starter is the purple wire at the neutral safety switch, more involved with an automatic, but it's a piece of cake with a manual trans ;)

If you just want to kill the ignition, Use the 12 volt source wire at the distributor for HEI, or use the positive terminal on the coil if you have points.

If you have an electric fuel pump a kill switch for that is a good theft deterent.

I use both fuel and ignition methods (more than one) on a car with a key switch source, so even if the switch is found, it will take a key to operate it ;) Simple toggle switches just aren't enough in my opinion. Hope that helps.
