Title: Victor Special kill switch
Post by: Jpb0804 on 04 Apr, 2025, 16:49
Hello - I need some wiring help. I have a 1968 VS with the ET ignition system. I would like to fit a kill switch and am wondering how I would wire that. Looking at the diagram I can find it seems like I would have the switch earth the black/white wire coming from the alternator to the points/ET coil?  Many thanks.

Connecting anywhere on the ignition wire either before or after the ignition coil, and running a wire through a switch directly to earth will get rid of the few sparks the ET system produces.

Thanks for that much appreciated - and yes, the spark on the ET wouldn't set the world alight for sure!
