I have tried a number of places for my ignition switch. The best place on my Arntz is on the transmission tunnel just below the right edge of the steering wheel. It is easy to reach, out of the way and prevents quick hot wiring. I have tried various switches with and without separate starter buttons. I am currently using a Ron Francis switch. Turn right for ignition and start. Turn left for accessories. I wired an extra starter push button switch under the hood for adjusting valves. It only works in accessory position. This works really well most of the time but the Ron Francis switch gets sticky sometimes. I use 3M dry lube to free it up. On the left side of the dash, I installed a battery cut off switch which complies for racing requirements for track days. It is also useful when doing electrical work. You are correct that these cars are never complete. I’ve been working on mine for 37 years and keep thinking of improvements. It is a great retirement hobby.
