Default Paging patrickt

Patrick, you are the electrical guru on these Cobras, I need some help. I just got my UCC Cobra running, long story short the plugs were fouled black and the timing was FUBAR. BTW your info on the Holley zinc issue was very helpful… but I digress… cleaned the carb, changed the battery ,new fuel and finally got it to start and idle. Later while messing around with the timing ( I had to re clock the distributor as it was abutted against the thermostat housing…) it died. The 250 amp fuse at the battery switch was blown. All the wires seem to be ok, no obvious ground issues. Maybe the timing too far advanced putting too much load on the fuse??
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Doug
