I am rewiring and updating my 63 Atlas wiring. A previous owner had converted the ignition system to points and coils. The coils were located in the tool tray! Not to mention other issues. I bought a new Lucas wiring loom for a 67 Atlas. I have a new Lucas ignition switch to go with it. The Lucas loom matches the 67 Wiring diagram (Hooray!) I have relocated the coils to the proper location between the battery box and oil tank. The ignition switch is in the stock position by the oil tank. This makes it damned inconvenient to stop the motor in a hurry. The wiring diagram shows a "Ignition cutoff switch" that grounds the wires from the coils to the contact breakers. One isolated wire from each coil grounds through the switch.The new wiring loom has wires to accommodate this switch (or is it a button?) The coil end of the wires is obvious. The switch ends terminates with two bullet connectors coming off the loom up near the lighting switch. I would like to make this feature functional. But I have a few questions that need answered before I can go any further:
1) Is it a switch or button?
2) Is the switch mounted on the bars or of the plate near the lighting switch?
3) Who makes the switch and the part number?
4) Can anyone with an Atlas with a coil ignition post some pictures?
Any help is much appreciated.
