I wire race cars and I am doing this project myself to my SVX. You need a master disconnect switch with a seconday circuit (normally called "with alternator disconnect/protect). There will be a pair of heavy duty terminals for going inline with the (+) side of the battery. There will also be a secondary switched circuit on it as well. Some people wire this inline with their voltage regulator for their alternator thusly killing it at the same time. For our car (SVX) it would be easier to connect the ignitor circuit to this second side of the switch, thusly killing the ignition when the master switch is flipped. I hope this helps.
