How to incorporate a push to start button?

[Damn True]

Id like to find some way to not have my keys wagging back and forth across my dash ('68 Camaro). I dig the idea of an ignition switch in a cubby in the console and a push to start button (ala Honda S2000 or Lexus) in place of the ignition switch on the dash.

Anyone done anything like this?
Have suggestions?
Have a schematic?

I plan on doing this with a S2000 starter, I have no information on it yet however.

Shay Campbell’s old car has a s2000 push button. I believe I remember him saying it was rather expensive to do. He also said you cant get the pig tail from the dealer you will need to get it from a salvage yard and he had to get the wiring schematics from a Honda dealer. I believe he put the ignition switch in the lighter position in the ashtray.

It's rather easy, look at the several kits for sale below with prewired harnesses.

You can do it with a push botton of any kind and a $3 relay..............don't spend huge money on it.

I'll be the first to admit that I am electricly challenged. Would it be possible through the use of a latching relay to have it push to start and push to stop using the same button?

[Tim Baillie]

Yep, however use the latching relay to trigger other relays as the latching ones aren't that heavy duty and will burn out if you pass that much current threw them. Use them to triger Bosch or Potter 40 amp relays.

I think I get it, but I'll need a schematic to do it.

I am putting one in my chevelle out of a honda. But I am also electrically challenged

A fellow at my work is a S2000 guy.

He said a great place to get the parts for this conversion is www.hardtopguy.com
