I was telling my local car buddy about my experience the other day with the
rotor flying off inside the distributor cap after I'd replaced and removed
the rotor as a cheap anti-theft device. He suggested that I remove about
5" of tape from the wiring harness that feeds the negative side of the coil,
tap into that wire and install a hidden switch somewhere in the cockpit.
Then retape the harness, of course, so there would be no evidence under the
bonnet of the hidden switch. Not quite as heavy-duty as a battery kill
switch, but a lot cheaper and just as effective, wouldn't you think?
TIA
