Aftermarket kill switch?

Trace the wires, see where they lead. That will help.

Looks like the remnants of a 1970s car alarm.

Arming trigger for the James Bond style smoke screen and oil slick.

It looks like an old Chapman lock that locks the hood. I had one years ago in an older car that I had.

X2. My 88 camaro came with a Chapman lock. Sort of an ignition lockout type of deal.
