    Falcon XC MSD Ignition Help

    Okay so basically run a 10A fuse inline with the fat red wire from the battery positive?? I'm assuming this is to reduce blowing the MSD box in case of a short?? And just going from memory, distributor phasing is how on point the rotor is with the cap, so basically if it is sparking when it is perfectly inline rather when then earlier or later, and this is to reduce the chance of the spark jumping to an earth or another point?? Correct me if I am wrong on this. But in regard to distributor phasing, got any tips for a rookie like myself?? Or any procedures I should take?? And with timing, I was going to set the dizzy to either 0degress, or advance it 2degrees, and then I was going to lock it down and advance the timing through the MSD, this is a 250 X-flow from a Falcon XC sedan, its running 350 Holley, extractors, stock cam (got new cam, just want to get ignition working), its converted to Unleaded and it has a comp of around low 10s:1. So how much advance would you recommend on the timing?? also correct me if I am approaching the timing wrong. Also, How about spark plug gap size?? MSD recommends a gap of 0.050 for around that comp Thanks

    Okay, So which wire should I be fusing?? Sorry for my ignorance, I'm just super confused, because MSD never said anything about running some fuses, especially on the actual supply wires, its just says hook everything up. And Yeah okay, I have a 12V wire which is from the old ignition, I've simply split that, and it runs to the MSD and to the dizzy, pretty much how the diagram in the manual said so. I'm uploading photos of the diagram I'm following and the wire I have wired it up: Okay so that's the MSD box, my wiring loom, and the three plugs that go into the dizzy

    Which supply are you talking about?? So I got the big red wire and big black wire hooked directly to the positive and negative terminal of the battery respectively. I then have the switch 12V wire running to the dizzy and to the MSD small red wire. The WHITE/BLUE wire connects to the dizzy PIP signal wire, and then I have grounded the dizzy to the chassis ground. Just went through the manual again, there is nothing about putting fuses in the loom :/ If you could shine some light on what you mean by fused correctly, because I don't want to blow the box or something, I just followed the manual.
