Agreed- I have carbs too and nothing goes to those spades.
So, Clay: Are you saying I could run a wire from one of those spades to the battery, interrupting it with a momentary switch, and I would have an emergency ignition cranking switch in the engine bay? If true, how cool is that. Ansbacher |

If true, how cool is that. Ansbacher That is 100% true. I have a spade connector on a short piece of wire that I use when hooking a remote starter button to Betty's car. It is far easier than crawling underneath. Clay |

It is far easier than crawling underneath. Clay @ClayPerrine Could you post a sketch schematic, wire gauge and type of switch? I’d really like to do this “hack” but don’t want to fry something. Also, hoping Betty’s car is coming along well; if you need a replacement 1.8 engine tuneup sticker (see Originality Forum) let me know and I’ll mail you one. Thanks for all you do on the Forum. |

I am also interested in this. Having a Double spine fusion issue, this would be very use full.
