Hi Fred-
Am I correct in understanding that this kill switch is essentially a
battery disconnect line? Connected in the main battery cable? If that is
the case, I'm a bit concerned that 20 amps is too low, as starters draw
huge amounts of current..... Or did you just put the switch in the B+ line
that powers the fuse block?
Thanks,
Bob Westerdale

Subject: kill switch
Well after installing a new alternator and running a few new wires, none of
which I am capable of doing, I installed a battery kill switch inside the
car for easy access. V/B has these listed for 49.95, NAPA sells them for
54.95, Snyders Model A Antique parts in Ohio sells the same switch for
19.95, also a nice mounting bracket for 12.95, the switch is 20 amps
continuous, 125 momentary. Part # A-14300-D &A14300DMB
Snyders # 330-549-5313, if anyone is in need of one. This will sure take the
wire burning worry away if you should smell smoke. "FT"
