It's an easy install especially with the int. out of car. I run mine under the car.

Did you get a kill switch also? What do you need to know?

I didn't get a kill switch but I grounded it to the frame then grounded the engine to the frame as well

Here's a link on how to wire it w/ a cut off switch. It not to difficult.

If you are going to run it at a track that does tech inspections then you are going to need a cut-off switch that actually cuts the car off. More times than not you are going to needa relay to kill the alternator to cut the car off when you throw the switch.

If you were going to run inside the car, do it along the driveshaft hump or along where the floor meets the sides(so its out of the way) if youre planning on recarpeting. If youre making it a trackcar, then whatever. Personally Im a fan of outside the car, tucking it up with the fuel and brake lines.
