Don't know which kind you have ("Green Knob" or knife switch), but it doesn't matter much; put it at the negative battery terminal (between the post and the ground cable). If you're using the "Green Knob" type, make sure you undo it about 2-3 turns when you disconnect, and turn it nice and tight when you re-connect (if you only undo it a turn or so and forget to tighten it and start the car, it can arc between the leaves in the switch and fry it). I've used the "Green Knob" type for years on all my toys and never had a problem with them.
