A mechanism including a tamper-proof housing which is mounted on the distributor of an automobile. The housing contains a normally open electrical switch, which is series-connected to a portion of the electrical conductor which connects the automobile spark coil to the distributor and which extends through the interior of the housing, and a combination lock which is operable to actuate the switch to closed position. The lock is operated remotely from the passenger side of the automobile instrument panel through the medium of cooperating devices including a rotatable linkage, a rack and pinion assembly and a manual actuator that is conveniently accessible to the seated operator. Alternatively, a "key" may be used in place of the manual actuator. The mechanism is automatically returned to "protective condition," i.e., with the switch in open position, by a pull cable which is operated manually or by the opening of a door of the automobile, as desired. |
