The original master switch is the usual less than quarter turn snap ON and snap back for OFF. The master switch unit is mounted high onto the fire wall .The actual switch is high on the engine side and the fire wall mounted to the FORD style solenoid with a metal "L" , The control lever is high under dash on the passenger side of fire wall. Imagine being all belted in and asking people passing by to "please help" by leaning in and reaching under the dash to turn on my master switch. and all the while assuring them "there is a switch up there" and then the " click" and a "thank you" and off I'd go. I added a Flaming River master switch centered on the dash in series with the original master switch. Twist ON and bump inward for OFF. Big red knob is large for operating with gloves on. I made an aluminum mounting escutcheon with large engraved "PUSH IN for OFF" reachable from outside.
