So I want to install a switch hidden under the dash to stop the engine starting.
Having done a search, the black/purple wire going to the tachometer seemed a likely candidate to break the circuit. However, when I disconnected it from the tach, the car would still start! Which wire should I use? The engine is a 1973 2.0 four cylinder with fuel injection. |

Don't be so Cruel on yourself, 80's style was Rad ! hell yeah. emery is on to something. but just when he thinks he is safe and can go charming grandmothers down at the mall parking lot, he will turn his back and have it nicked because its the thing some 20 year old has to have. i reckon he is in the high risk bracket. mullets are in. watch out.  |
