"I'm waiting for a relay to come for the battery shutdown switch, hoping it's here soon so I can go to the drags next wednesday."

How are you going to run the wiring for that shutoff switch?

I have to do that this upcoming week, myself, but, I am woefully ignorant of the best way to wire it. My (illogical, probably,) thought was to add a relay that would be normally "off" to the wire that connects the distributor ro the coil, so that when the relay loses power, due to having been turned off at the external switch, it will create an open circuit in the wire that connects the coil and the distributor switching mechanism that operates as an electronic "set of points" on what was the breraker plate, in days gone by.

Will that work, or, is there a better way?

I'm all ears...

Thanks for any better ideas!
