Lockup question

Ok guys tonight im adding my lock up switch I just have one question. The relay jumper the instructions Dave gave me say to “remove relay from fuse box install jumper between the big terminals.” Do I re install the relay? I would think I shouldn’t but im no wiring expert.

You can leave the relay in if you install a 33 ohm resistor from Radio Shack in the ground wire from the switch.

Any idea how to link it to the brake peddle so it'll unlock itself when you hit'em...and stay unlocked until you hit the switch again?

There are some schematics on the web. Personally, I have no desire to have mine set up that way since it gives up the compression braking you gain from installing the switch.

I didn't think about that. Good point.
