It cost less to buy and most thieves would not waste the time to look for it. I put a kill switch in my old cutlass that basically was a series of switches that all had to be in the correct positon to start and run the vehicle (my brother liked to "borrow" my race car, after the switches he couldn't). The only other option I would consider (if I had an unlimited budget) would be a lojack.

Interrupting the circuit that supplies power to the distributor used to be easy to do. Still is, I guess. Had a friend whose son had a hidden switch in his '56 Bel Air, and forgot he had it after not driving it for "a while". It was one of those simple toggle switches that had to be moved before cranking or no voltage path to the HEI module.

I'd thought about an alarm system, too. But it may just be that this is the route I take. Simple and easy and hard to by-pass. All you gotta do is interrupt the circuit to the HEI and you got it.
