'65 Anti Theft & Ignition ACC Toggle Switch

[lakeroadster]

Our trucks don't have an ACC position on the ignition switch. Therefore if you turn the ignition on to listen to the radio, without the enigne running, you may burn up your coil and your points.

What if a fella was to put a toggle switch on the hot wire that goes from the ignition to the coil? If the location of the switch was in an accessible, but hidden, location in the cab it could also be used as a theft deterent?

Fix one issue, get a bonus feature for your efforts.

What say ye gang, sound like a workable scenario?

(This would be better than just a "non ignition" hot wire to the radio. Do that and forget to turn off the radio and you get a dead battery.)
