Kill Switch - once again

[JACK34]

Is it a 4 speed? If so it's theft proof, nobody could figure out how to drive it nowadays.

Just another idea, semi on topic. On a different forum, there was a car with a floor dimmer switch set up as an ignition passthrough (or other kill switch setup). Actual dimmer function was in the column, but trucks of our vintage could easily have the floor switch, and the majority of the general population doesn't have a clue that it might even be there.
Another topic was to have the kill switch operate the fuel pump, not the starter/ignition. When there's a no-crank situation, they are going to start digging to find the reason why. When an old truck cranks but doesn't start or dies after a short while, they will come closer to cranking and cranking until the battery is dead and you will find the truck a short distance away, albeit with a busted window and trashed steering column...

That’s what I did. And with the same thought in mind. Of course gotta go a different route if you have a mechanical fuel pump.
An Edelbrock carb will idle for about a minute with no fuel pump or will drive about 300 yards before dying.
Perfect for most scenarios to have the truck just get out into a public road and die in the road. Best case scenario, especially around here and many other places where stolen cars are somehow right around shoplifting from Walmart on the PD priority scale.
But blocking traffic will get a cop there every time.
