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. |

I use a battery cutoff switch with a removable handle. I seem to always be working on some electrical upgrade/problem and it is so easy just to turn and remove the handle. At this point even those pesky electrons cooperate. I have used both types of battery cutoff switches, the type that simply disconnects the battery from ground and the type that also connects to the alternator, to try to save the alternator diodes in the event of an emergency battery disconnect. Pegasus Racing has always been my source for these.
