have a customer with an externally regulated motorcraft alternator. He bought a "one wire conversion" kit from us (it"s really a mini sized external regulator made by Victory Lap that bolts on back). If it was a street car, tractor, or similar i would not have a question; but this is a drag car that needs an emergency shutdown master switch accessible at the rear of the car. The battery is already at the rear.
I want to help him wire the switch correctly so that in worst case scenario--with the engine wide open and driver passed out--everything will kill yet at the same time prevent the alternator from being damaged during what he calls "tech" where they sometimes pull the switch to test that it actually works. Right now he has a single pole master switch with only 2 terminals on it. Being a race car, i bet he spent big money on it, so if there is a way to do this with that swich, he"d probably like to go that route. If not, what is/are the other option(s)?? quick note about the regulator kit, all the wire connections are external, easy to get at, and have a few inches of wire coming out of the regulator, so any connection that needs to be modified can easily be changed.

It was an Allis-Chalmers tractor dealership,
