Thanks so much MetroMPG!!!
Bear with my noob-ness on understanding vehicle electronics

My distributor has 3 low-voltage wires:
  1. Tach output
  2. Feedback to the ECU, and a
  3. 12V wire between the Coil and Ignition Control Module

I assume that opening the circuit to the last wire (between the coil and ICM) would do the trick (or would any disruption likely confuse the ECU?)

I don't EOC all that often, but when I do, a kill button would be great -- especially to keep the gauges, signals, and ABS active.
