Yeah, I was thinking of a kill switch anyway on account of hearing cars just like mine are starting to disappear without the owners consent. But I can cut the distributor if it came to that.

What I was wondering is how much drag that mechanical pump is on the engine and would it be beneficial if the engine didn't hafta work to pump that pump.

It's true that my car is a daily driver but it's also my only toy right now. I'd like to do what it takes to get as much out of it as I can.

And on a budget too.
