I installed a cut off switch to the fuel pump but it is a key operated switch (from Brigs and Stratton lawn mower). I also have a large, bright red lock that fits on a wheel to prevent the car from being towed away. It was available at a trailer supply shop.

<div>A fuel-pump shutoff switch is a perfect antitheft device—and easy to install by splicing into the appropriate wire at the fuse block. I have one in my BN7 to address dieseling after nothing else worked. Simply run the system out of fuel before switching
off the ignition.

<div dir="ltr">My father purchased a used '62 Corvette in the late 60's. He worked in the insurance industry & he heard that 90% of all Corvettes were stollen sometime in their lives, in Chicago, where we lived. His solution was to install a manual shut off
valve in the fuel line. The valve was hidden behind the drivers seat & operated by a "T" shaped handle which was removable. His theory was that if someone broke in thru the canvas top & hot wired the ignition, they would only get a block or 2 before the engine
would die. The crook would panic & run away.</div>

<div>My BJ7, which I have owned since 1984, had lockable door handles with push buttons. When I restored the car in the early 1990’s I had the original door handles reinstalled. I was told that the push buttons were wrong and I wanted my car to be more original.
If I remember correctly the conversion was not a major big deal. </div>
