They don't like cars that won't start and sometimes trash them as punishment for fooling them. The rotor is a very good ides I once took mine from the Toronto Area to the Vancouver in my suit case Just because I could flip it in there! It was a dual point Mallory and would have been real hard to replace. Also chained the hood down with a paddle lock. This was after my car was stolen and partially stripped!

Someone will have to be very sharp to notice, the car will appear to want to start but act like the plugs are wet, checking with a timing light while an assistant cranks the motor will reveal a perfectly timed ignition system. If a kill switch is your choice, the switch should go on the ground (switched) side of the coil. This switch can either gound this terminal or isolate the terminal. Putting the switch in the powered side of the circuit is too easy to bypass. Grounding the switched side of the coil can be hidden in any tach wiring you might have. This type of kill switch will be much harder to bypass and require diagnostic time that a thief doesn't usually have. > One of the first things crooks do is look for the kill switch in the > usual suspect places!!!

[quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > harder to bypass and require diagnostic time that a thief doesn't usually > have. All of this seems like a lot of trouble when you want to drive the car regularly. Something I've done is wire the starter crank circiit through a relay in the park lamp circuit. Won't crank unless you turn on the park\ running lights. Install a bypass in an out of the way location in case there is a problem. No add on "kill switch" circuit is fool proof. Most are deterrents and the effectiveness if ruled by how well you hide the wiring mods. If the thief can't start the car after a minute or so, he'll give up.( And hopefully not do too much damage because of his failure). If someone really wants to steal your car, they will use a tow truck. No anti-theft features can stop that. |
