Toggle Kill Switch - Dash
I have an MSD R2R distributor with an MSD Blaster coil. If I wanted to install a dash mounted single toggle switch to act as a kill-switch, could I wire it to the orange wire that is currently connected from the MSD harness to the negative of the coil as outlined in the MSD diagram?

Are you installing an inline switch or a switch that grounds the "-" side of the coil? With points, grounding the "-" side of the coil is a great way to do it, because unless the thief knows about the grounded wire, no amount of hotwiring the coil will get it to start. I do not know if grounding the orange wire will damage the MSD electronic distributor, however. If you just plan to insert a switch in series in the orange wire, that will work fine. Just be aware that a jumper wire will defeat your kill switch.
