Good eye, mate.
Those valve covers cause a crowd at cuise-ins and car shows. A lot of "What is that?" going on.
I use the original ignition switch to power up the coil, and to send low amp power to a relay which sends full battery amps to the the V8 starter.
In series of the low amp side of the relay, there is a micro lever switch to allow start in Park and Neutral only. From there it leads to the new electric stomp starter.
Doing all of this prevents overloading the original ignition switch from the high amp demand of the V8 solenoid during initial starting phase.
