I would sugest it is a matter of personal preference!

Imagine how boring the world would be if everyone was the same, and no-one ever tried anythig different.

so it was slow happening like the bauld rate of a 808?

I race speedway, in a crash the first thing the safety guys go for is the fuel tap lever by the driver - which on an efi car has to have a switch for the pump to kill it as soon as you start to turn it and it is checked at scrutineering before every meeting.

for the sake of the engine oil pressure or lack of is better used to control the ignition circuit - no pressure no spark, and that is common on starting up the engine too.

having it controlled by the alternator is bs, most likely why holden202 couldn't get it to work, on my master switch the fat out of the alt is wired to the batt side of the switch - if wired to the car side it keeps the engine running after turning the kill switch off cos the alt will run the car which defeats the purpose of it.

mods clean thread at will :punk:
Build it, Race it, Break/Bend it ; Repeat.
