I have a hidden switch that turns the fuel pump off. It won't even start when switched.

My 95 has a push button ignition under the steering column. You put the key in and turn it on run then push the button to start it. When I get the 64 to that point I am just going to do a keyless ignition for it, with some toggle switches.

What does everyone think of that device like the CLUB for the brake pedal?

Several things have been discussed here. It is a recent thread.

Here is a link to a thread that has been going on for a week or two on this topic. It is called Classic Security and is on the lead page right now.

It's easy to hide a flat push-button switch under the floor to kill an electric fuel pump or power to the coil. Realize though that coil power is easily supplied by anyone with half a brain and a wire with alligator clips on it.

Basically, if someone wants to steal your car bad enough, they will. All it takes is a flat bed and a winch.
