Re: What is the best THeft Deturent?
That is so TRUE! It seems like every year during the Baja 500 & 1K the locals get a little more "risky".... They actually try to steal entire semi's with rig and all in the trailer. God for bid if you crash or break and need to leave your junk on the side of the course!

Re: What is the best THeft Deturent?
I have used a coded key for my cj7, my 67, 68 , and going to put one on my 67 chevelle. It is a flat key that you stick into a open slot, then you put your key into ignition. It kills it at the starter and will not start without coded key. $69 bucks. I like it.

Re: What is the best THeft Deturent?
Where do you get the coded key? And how do you install a fuel shutoff with mechanical fuel pump?

Re: What is the best THeft Deturent?
I have a solenoid valve attached in front of the tank switch valve and it is wired to the alarm system so it shuts the fuel of when alarm is activated.

Re: What is the best THeft Deturent?
half a dozen kill switches hidden all over the truck, master battery switch, fuel shutoff, and most of all park it where nobody can move it out

I leave a book on my seat entitled "Advanced Techniques in Knife Fighting" that seems to be working pretty well....

![]() Or you could run a wire from the coil output to the driver's seat just underneath the upholstery, causing theft to rapidly become a pain in the backside. |

Re: What is the best THeft Deturent?
Well I'd say for cost effectiveness go to a local hardware store buy the thickest chain that will bolt to the hood and wrap around a frame horn or some other hard to get to area where a key will fit with ease and remove your coil before locking it up. It takes a little time unless your running an HEI then forget removing the coil just unhook the wires to it and lock the hood as for me I have an MSD 6AL and it come with spade connectors for the external coils so removal for me is just unhooking two wires and locking my big ass chain also I have a kill switch hidden where no one would bother to look

Re: What is the best THeft Deturent?
3-on-the-tree. Seriously. Nobody knows how to drive it anymore.
I went to motor vehicles to register my '68 Biscayne and no one knew how to work the 3-speed column linkage.

Re: What is the best THeft Deturent?
Simply install an HEI and remove the fuse after you get out. Great improvement and an easy anti theft device.

Re: What is the best THeft Deturent?
It's even better if the linkage is worn. Tough to run away when you can't make the 1-2 shift...
