Default Kill Switch Wiring?

Does it go in the hot side or the ground side?

Thanks!

I'll just say that I had advanced warning that the kill switch was a pain in the ***, so I let OPM do it for me.
Probably a good choice since after finishing the car Mike said "I really enjoyed working on your car... except for that %^$#@&* kill switch."

Scott, who after fighting with an air fuel ratio gauge and a "universal" oil filter adapter all weekend, figures skipping the kill switch was a good call.

A kill switch can go either hot or ground, as long as it:

1. kills the engine when running at 2500RPM AND

2. kills power to ALL electrical functions on the car.

Usually done hot side for cars with alternators.
