I plan on installing a master disconnect switch on the '74 to avoid any tech issues when I eventually head to the track. Have already seated and read up on various ways to do this.
What I'm unsure of is the main power feed for the EFI ECU and Ignition box. Both sets of install directions are adamant about having the non-ignition side straight to the battery. If I put them on the 'car' side of the disconnect switch would there not be the potential for damage to the units if/when the master switch is used ? I know the mechanical switches are not exactly instant on the connect/disconnect and that makes me think spikes etc getting to these units.
Am I over thinking this and worrying about nothing or should I look to get something inline to protect those feeds ? In the process of drawing up the disconnect/fuel pump relay bracket and wiring diagram(s) since I what to have it all neatly mounted on the battery box.
Thanks
