I bolt mine to the roof (inside) and run the wires zip tied down the pass side window bar.
My cars are all stored outside - keeps the switches out of the rain.

Whether it's a toggle switch pannel, or just wires plugged together, we have to have them so a rescue person can reach in and shut the car off. So I mount them on the dash bar, right above the steering column. The starter button itself, I mount on the tranny hump, right where your hand would drop down to it, sitting in the seat.

Why so many switches? I have a starter button and then a main power that runs my fan, fuel, and MSD. I like to keep it simple, less to go wront that way. Just curious on your reason for that?

I think the double switches is because sometimes they will go bad. That is why a lot of guys run the "bump wire" method. Honestly, I can't believe I have never thought about that. May just have to make something like that. Usually it's the starter button that goes bad in my experience.

some people run more than one switch because if you have too much going through one switch, it is more stress and power to a single switch, which could cause it to fail. I plan to run 2 switches and a start button. one main power for the motor, and one for my tranny cooler fan. Dont buy cheap switches either. i had a cheap one last year, only for my tranny cooler fan, and it was too much power for the switch. it failed and I went a whole heat with no fan on my tranny cooler.

I like to go heavy on any wires/switches that intended use is for.The weak link in the system should always be the fuse not the switch.

 If you're running a Chevrolet small block - this is all you will need. |

I believe it should one wire. I have never ran one and never will. Ford makes it and Ford shakes it! ;D
