Where to rig up kill switch wiring?
I just got a 2nd 280ZX to be my beater/parts car, so there's little point in buying an alarm for it. So I just wanna rig up a kill switch to the fuel pump or something as my quick n' cheap security measure. My question is where to find/cut into the fuel pump wiring to install a switch (the color of the wire may be helpful too)? It'd be a lot more convenient than my ultra-ghetto security method of taking the distributor-coil plug wire with me when I walk away!

i was going to rig my ignition wire to my cigarette lighter... you cant crank my engine without depressing the cigarette lighter.. the lighter works as a switch.. when compressed it closes the circut and when not its open...

Behind the glove box there are some relays towards the right. One is the fuel pump relay. Sorry, I don't know all the colors and such. Find the small wire that activates the relay. Interrupt that wire and run it to your hidden on/off switch.
Switches that kill the starter do not prevent a roll-start. fuel or spark is much better security. (plus an alarm)
