    Had the floor starter on my model T I resurected from a pile of rust. Tho what was a real blast was having ghost starts from just turning on the ignition switch. On a model T, the ignition coil is creating spark when ever the coil is grounded through the commutator (a distributor the a bearing that creates ground). If the cylinder has fuel and is just past dead center when shut off, it will start with out the starter (ghost start),

    A floor dimmer makes a good kill switch. Mounted up high under carpet. I’ve known a few Guys that would chain their car up to a tree on the front lawn. Detroit’s still the stolen car capital. A neighbor had a pristine 69 Roadrunner. No.1 car, in 1982. Someone stole it, drove it through the garage door. What a waste, Last month they caught a Car hauler, with 9 cars, unloading at a Chop Shop. I seriously doubt anyone would steal my 03 Jeep. Lol. They made 5 million of them. Junkyard’s full of them, parts are cheap. Anyone steals any of my cars, or my Semi, I’m going to dinner or a few cups, make sure they have enough time to get away.

    Easier to make a solenoid do an air shutter and block incomming air to the intake. Nothing will run or start then

    Hurrah! My pickup will be drivable tomorrow! Just needs a solenoid pack. Under $800 total cost.
    Different from the vid, my transmission is still in the truck.

    51 mile Deadhead, 2 detours, construction, 1 city cop, 2 Troopers. Somehow we made it unscathed. City cop got a fourwheeler right behind me. Hardest part is getting out of Michigan. Still have a scale to cross, maybe. They old Dogs loving it, the young ones already homesick. Just mention the Truck, she runs and hides under a blanket. Lol.
