i'm trying to run the ignition kill switch on the coil pack ground wire. i bought a 20amp single throw toggle and will mount it on the shifer, hidden under the shift boot. will that be enough or should i get a bigger one? let me know...chris

the ignition coil doesn't run at a higher amperage than that? usually you use kill switches on signal wire not power wires. that way you don't have to worry about current and melting wires if you get a short. but yes if you're set on using that wire please make sure you fuse it. i would suggest finding a different wire to 'kill' though.

most alarms kill one've the wires in the ignition harness. i can't remember which color one off hand right now... another one people like to do is a kill switch for the fuel pump (with a relay of course).

When i get my car back ill post pictures of my ignition kill switch. Yea its wired into the harness but was done awhile ago so i cant tell you off the top of my head what wires i used. (note! i may not have my car back for awhile its in the shop, if you -really- want info PM me and ill make sure to PM back pics of my setup asap)
