You can cut the purple wire, after it leaves the neutral safety switch (with auto trans) on it's way to the starter and install a button switch on the dash. If it is a stick shift, you should see a jumper in the harness under the dash,left side. Open it up there and install your switch.Hope this helps!

You will need to hook the purple wire going to the starter to one side of the button & a hot wire, about 12 gauge, to the other connection on the starter button.


They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing.
