What size for push button start button? Kill switch?

Will this fit in a 68 Camaro lighter hole in the dash?

Also, I'd like to wire a switch in to kill the car upstream of the key so that the switch has to be on to start the car. With either the key or switch to kill the car. Maybe only the switch depending on wiring issues.

So, I'm looking at an aircraft style switch but need to know what amp/volt rating and wire size for such.

Thanks!

Found this, anyone use one? Though I'm thinking of just a push to start and shut of with key, as I don't know what to fill the ignition or lighter hole with.

That is interesting. Been looking at something like this myself.

I got a start button out of an arcade machine I want to use. It's big, yellow and luminated.

The best way to set this up in your car would be to use a relay to activate the starter. What you would do is use a SPDT 30a relay.

• Cut the starter wire coming off of the ignition cylinder
  
  Take the side of the starter wire that goes to the starter and connect that to pin# 30 on the relay.
  
  Tap into your ignition wire (should be pink) with a 12 ga wire and run it to pin 87 & 86.
  
  Connect on side of the new push button starter and connect it to ground.
  
  Take the other side of the push button and run it to a toggle switch, then from the other side of the toggle switch to pin 85 of the relay.
  

Setting it up this way will put a essentially no load on your switch or your pushbutton. I can make a diagram for you if you like, just PM me with your email address.

You don't want this switch!! I have already "gone there", "done that". The switch you're referring to is made of plastic and is not worth the money. I bought one, received it, took one look at it and sent it back. If you want a really neat looking push button start, check out the short video below of my '68 with the push button start installed and visit the Digital Guard Dawg site for more information on the kit.

Mark, will one quick push turn on accessories or (in my case, fuel pump) Then push again to start?
Probably a little different install for me with a column ignition-tracing wires as opposed to your 68. How defined are the directions with other configurations?
Nice video by the way

Here is a link to a 12vdc momentary switch made of stainless steel and annodized black.
It has a red illuminated ring as well.
It uses a 3/4" hole to mount that should fit the hole in the dash when you remove the lighter.

John,
Where were the start switch and the rocker switches sourced from?

Tom,

Yes, that's how it works. One quick push and you get accessories, another push and the starter turns. To do this, you need to add two 30 amp relays to the standard system outerwise, when you push the button the first time the starter will turn and you won't get the accessories. The kit comes with directions covering most of the standard hook-ups and if you need help, they have a good tech line that can answer any of your questions regarding more complicated configurations. The push button comes in many different looks and colors. If you decide to order, call and ask for Bruce. Mention to him that you heard of the system from me and he will give you a great deal.

Uhm... yeah. Where is that switch and set of rockers from John boy ?? Hook a brother up with some knowledge yo !!

OK if your starting an LSx use the start feature in the computer, key on for main power. Pushbutton to the crank wire, the crank wire from pcm to the 30 amp relay then to the solenoid.
The computer that works great is from 2000 up trucks, even a 04 W3500 runs same pcm.

just make sure your fuses make good connection, had one with a fuse tap causing a big problem, fixed the fuse connection and tada its done.

Any pics of this installed? Are you using it?

Those look like Ford GT parts.

Not using it yet but I did a test fit in both the cigarette lighter hole and the ignition hole.... and both holes are too big.... I guess I thought the switch was going to be bigger....
