How to wire up kill switch?

I know this thread has probably been discussed before, but my search turned up nothing.
What is the best way to rig up a kill switch?
Where have you mounted your actual switch?
What is the best type of switch? Just a regular stainless toggle switch?
What is the moniker for the switch I want? SPST? DPDT? etc.

I've been told that you have to splice the orange wire on the starter relay that goes to the distributer.
Any more to add?
What rating of switch should i get?

Thanks,
Matt

Matt, I just spliced into the + wire going to the coil. Ran wires back to a SPST switch hidden in the cab. You can place it anywhere, it's a very simple installation. Don

Now for something completely different: http://www.mr2.com/TEXT/IgnitionKillSwitch.html I'm looking for an effective method also.
