Since someone asked, if you lost your ignition key during a day at the 
beach (or wanted to borrow your buddy's car to go get more beer) and you had a 
pack of Beeman's gum -- remember, Chuck Yeager chewed that to relieve 
drymouth from pure oxygen breathed on test flights, another piece of historical 
triva -- you could use the foil wrapper for the gum to jump the ignition just 
by compressing it over the two setscrews on the back of the ignition switch.
