A good anti-theft measure for IHC gas engines is to rig a hidden switch
which interupts your internal distributor wiring on the primary side.  

The wiring for such a set up needn't be more than 16 - 18 guage and is
easily hidden within the wiring harness wrap. 

When the hidden switch is open, the would-be thief can run all the jumper
wire power he wants directly from the battery to the ignition coil, but
ain't no sparks going to come out.
