fuel cutoff switch

Bob, do you have any sugestions for a manual fuel cutoff switch that does not restrict flow and where should I put it. {Boy-is that dangerous].

Well... Definitely put it where the sun don't shine!

It looks like the best place would be in the fuel line as it goes up just inside the rear frame kickup, just behind the rear bulkhead. The switch control could extend through the bulkhead behind the driver's seat. At this point, it's going to be a bit tight working in there, but it looks like your best bet. This installation will be the mirror image of my recommended location for the battery cutoff switch.

I haven't seen us do any switches like this, so I can't recommend any particular brand.

My dad put one of those on the 66 vette. He put it in the door jam, so it was out of sight with the door shut. Works great though. When you install it, just for fun, start the car and start driving without flipping the switch. I'd say about a quarter of a mile before it shuts down. We plan on hiding one under the dash on the cobra.
