Gas pedal starter button...

[SoCalCoupe]

Had my '41 Ford for over a year and for the first time discovered that if I floor the accelerator when the engine's off, a starter button cranks the engine. Is that stock?


I don't like it. What if I'm going up a hill and floor it? Will the starter crash into the flywheel?


Short list of things to do is crawl under the car for maintenance. While I'm at it I'll find that accelerator button and disconnect the wires.
