http://www.maxrules.com/oldmercs/Wiring/1966ona/30.gif what wires would i run to a 2 way on off switch so i can shut off ? if the tan and black wires touch that should kill the engine right? but would it fry anything with the key in run position? any ideas for a way to turn off the motor ? any input on a way of instaling a shut off switch thanks :) old 650 mercury thunderbolt 1969

You need to splice between the white wire, that system does not use the tan wire to kill instead it turn 12 volts on/off to switchbox.

Take a tester and see if you have 12v at white wire all the time, if so there is something miswired.
