Default Hidden kill switch

Just a suggestion for those who have disabled wipers. This switch makes a excellent kill switch for the MSD.

I'm not saying that I have done this, but it does work rather well. Who would think about checking the wiper switch!! :)

If any one wants to know how, let me know.

Frank

Doesn't it ever rain after you take out the toy? Don't you get summer afternoon rain storms?

I have a special keyed switch , if the wires are cut the car will not run, the key must be activated or the car will run for about 200 yards then shut down leaving you stranded in traffic. Happened to me a couple of times when I forgot. :lol:

My fuel pump cutoff switch is in my cigarette ash try. I was going to put it under the ash tray, but I figured someone too lazy to work for a Vette is probably too lazy to find the switch.

My wipers don't work but it's only because Bubba screwed them up so bad I haven't been able to fix them yet! Guess he killed them pretty good!

Email is down, but it's simple, Ground wire to one of the mounting lugs, White MSD wire to the number 2 or number 3 postion. Wiper switch off, car runs, wiper switch on (2 or 3) no run.
