I think he means like a plug and play deal.
No, they don't make any, if that's what you mean.

Fuel cut off switch:
The "band aid" cure for cars which flood consistently is to install a toggle switch which will control the fuel pump. Note that the only cures for consistent flooding are cleaning/rebuilding injectors, rebuilding the engine, or finishing rebuild breakin. I like to install my cutoff switch right behind the keyhole in the lower column surround, but anywhere within easy reach will work. I use a toggle switch available at radio shack for about 2 dollar, called a rocker switch. IT is solid black, very slimline(maximum protrusion 1/8") and fits perfectly. You can use any toggle switch however.
1)
Obtain the following: 2 prong, 2 position toggle switch, at least 2 feet length of 16-14 gauge wire, 2 female speaker terminal connectors(quick connect), 2 wire taps(vampire taps) and wire crimpers/strippers. Vampire taps join one wire beside another, when a metal strip gets pushed down connecting the 2 wires. A clean way to connect 2 wires.
2)
Remove column cover and install the toggle switch in its position(or wherever else you want).
3)
Locate the fuelpump relay under the dash. Located between the radio and the steering column, it is a black relay with a white, 5 wire plug.
4)
Cut the fuelpump control wire: of the 5 wire plug, cut the middle wire of the 5.
5)
Run wires from the toggle switch to each of the ends you just cut and connect them all. Which wire goes to which end does not matter, there is no polarity here, only continuity.
6)
Put everything back together. Your switch is now installed.
7)
To operate it, figure out which way is on and which is off. I like to orient off downward.
8)
With the car running, turn the key off normally. Remove your key, and leave the switch alone.
9)
When restarting, flip switch OFF, insert key, floor throttle, crank car, and it will likely start up. IMMEDIATELY as soon as the tach needle passes the 750rpm line flip the switch on. IF you're quick enough the engine will stay running.
In addition to this, I also ran a new 12v line to the fuel pump. The lines degrade over time and this is just cheap insurance.
