It's time to find a new mechanic/tutor because he is wrong.
Any car, including any racing car, may be positive earth or negative
earth. Irrespective of which terminal is earth you need to wire the kill
switch
on the live. You also need a proper FIA kill switch which you wire the
ignition through otherwise you don't have a kill switch you have a battery
master switch which won't kill the engine if the car has an alternator or
dynamo. Yep, no resistor in the kill switch circuit and you fry the
alternator rectifier dioide pack - none of us ever does that twice.
Regards
Daniel
