Winter is coming here and a project I’m really interested in doing over the winter is the LNC 003. I have access to a multitude of high quality NO/NC limit switches. I’d like to install it and use it as my stage and as my main rev limiter. Here was my plan, run a 12v wire off my ign panel I have my wideband running in. Then put a momentary on the clutch pedal wired in a normally closed configuration. Then when clutching in it will trigger primary and will also let me roll the clutch out as it will not release the 2 step until the momentary makes and opens the circuit. My friends car has the MSD off the clutch switch and it’s great when it hooks. Trying to roll out the car on the street makes it not so great.

so as I’m seeing it running the primary activation wire: 12v source>momentary on clutch> master toggle in ashtray> through firewall> into LNC unit.

Am I correct? On the clutch switch setup it seems like a much more bs in switching through a relay and then I feel like it would be more of an issue in rolling the clutch out. Just wanted a confirmation as I’m sure someone has done this, would be nice to see how you have your momentary mounted on your pedal.
