Hello everyone, I am new to this site I have a question about my impala.
I installed a new distributor in my motor electronic bought t from a swap meet . I installed it works fine. starting without the key installed the new igniton can start it with the key but it will not shut off any ideas plz

Something is obviously wired wrong. You must have wired the 12 volts from a source that is hot all the time instead of a source that is only hot when the key is turned on. A schematic of how you wired it would be of great help to find a solution.

it may sound funny when I use a light switch on the positive lead of the coil I can shut it down, basically a kill switch. Basically what I need to do is find the on wire of the ignition and run to battery with a fuseable link in it or from the fuse panel.

Do it correctly. Find a 12 volt source that is only hot when the key is on and use that. Don't put in kill switches or tap off the fuse panel.

I have a problem stiil with my 63 impala start with the key cannot shut off with it but if I turn on the wipers then turn off the key it shuts off I am baffled the wires on the outside the fuse panel seem to be in the right place according to the book I have
