Where is an ignition wire I can splice into and install a cut off switch? What is the easiest wire for this to get to? Anyone have a diagram?

Do you definately want an ignition wire? The reason that I ask is that if the switch or wire connection fails, the car can stall in traffic. A starter kill can be safer in terms of putting one in harm's way.

Good luck.

Well I already put one on my fuel pump power, thing is if I turn off the car then hit the switch I can still start it, I mean it will die in about 10 seconds but still I'd rather have no power at all.

It will still start because it's using the rest of the fuel that's already in the lines. But HISSIN is suggesting that you wire a starter cut-off switch, because if you have your fuel pump switch short out while driving somewhere, then you're screwed. Your car will still run if your starter switch shorts out, it just won't start again.
