Re: [FWDLK] 1961, etc. Electrical Problems

I always thought a simple "kill switch" or two, or three is the way to go.
As effective as removing underhood items and much easer. Just don't make
them to easy to locate. A friend has a bank of 6 or 7 switches that must be
set in a certain order to start. Guess it is also a good idea to remember
your "code"....
