Quote: Quote: Quote: If you want to do it the easiest way.... run the alt output line back to the battery side of the master exactly simple, and it would be protected.. I cant see any other way of running it on a race car You can take that one step further and run a solenoid for the alternator output wire so that is not "hot" all the time. The way mine is wired also with no tech problems. Chryco Gas is fer washin' parts ....Alky`s fer drinkin' ...Nitro`s fer Racin'!

I got a four post switch, I think from Mancini. I will be racing tomorrow; however, when I get home I will post how to wire it. With the car running it will shut off everything on the car.

Directly killing all power to your ignition when the switch is turned off. Would seem easier to do than the alternator wire. I'm not an electrician either, so....I could be wrong.

The cut off switch won't kill the running car, the alternator will back feed power to the ignition though the "cold" side of the switch and the car will keep running.

I thought the same thing about opening the ground to the MSD I really don't like the rules about having the cut-off on the positive side of the battery.It makes much more sense to me to kill the negative side of the power source but thats my opinion Gus 6600347-burnoutpicturegus.JPG (93 downloads) 64 Plymouth Savoy 493 Indy EZ's by Nick at Compu-Flow 5-Speed Richmond faceplate Liberty box Dana 60
