easy  
to steal a  Corvair.

Mike - I made it even easier - but not for that reason. I took a  remote 
starter. A real cheap one, plastic housing and button, and built a  
all-purpose, late-Corvair starter. I used both a male and a female connector  from 
that starter feed, and built an intermediate harness that is inserted in  
between the stock ones, an additional third wire with a large clip  goes to the 
hot side of the battery. I added a small SPST micro switch in the  plastic 
housing and you have instant start and a switch for power to the  coil. 
Although I use it to start, run and stop the motor from the engine  compartment 
while tuning, etc. - You could hot-wire and start a Vair in about 10  seconds. 
It would probably work as well on a Chevelle or any other GM car  of the 
era. It won't work as well on my racing Corvair, because the battery -  and 
the convenient 12 volt terminal - is in the front trunk.
