Not beating it to death, I'm forging a new one using the smelted remains of the old one!

Great Idea! Where's a good place to kill a 7.3 with one of those things?
Jas88 Suggested the ecu relay.
I was talking about a gas motor. For the 7.3L IDI, you will need to interrupt the main power wire to the injection pump.

On the 7.3L PS, I am not sure, I never owned one. It has an ECU, but not sure how power is controlled there. Subford will hopefully be along shortly to give us all the wiring diagrams.

good location for it, especially considering that that recess is practically useless for anything else.
