    Hey there,

    I know longer have storage for my car so she is parked on the street. I got the club on her. Is there any other efficient methods to keep her protected? When she is going to sit for a while I pull one of the distributor cap wires. Whatever I do I want it to be quick.

    Thanks -

    Wire a dash switch that cuts off the ignition, and make it look like a normal dash switch, such as one labelled "heater", "choke", or "throttle". Set it up so the car will only run when the switch is pulled out. Whenever you park, simply push it in, and the car won't start. Thieves do not usually look for gimmicks that are in plain sight.

    Pulling a plug wire does not help unless it's the coil wire.
