Awesome post Patrick I joke about you being the Guru, but you really are impressive!
So the fusible link wire is an excellent idea then for the exact reason you are saying protecting the MSD POS feed wire!!! In my car, that POS MSD wire cannot be longer than 5 feet from the box(under the glove comp) to the solenoid on the fire wall. Per your chart it should be good for 100 amps, that is awesome.
Thank you.
Just a thought... if you used just an inline fuse instead of the fusible link wire, it would be a lot easier to change out instead of being stuck on the side of the road. Also, your CB is the auto resetting type so if the scenario happen where the wire shorted out on the firewall, would it not keep on smoking and shorting due to the CB resetting itself?
