I run a 15A fuse and have never had it blow. I believe I got that number from one of the Duraspark installation pages.

Note that it is easy to burn up a Duraspark Module (and/or coil) by leaving the ignition on without the engine running. This will occur without blowing the fuse.

Don't ask me how I know.

An ignition buzzer or light is your friend here.

PS. Your setup looks pretty conducive to being able to test the whole assembly before you mount it in the car. Just hook up a distributor, and run a common ground from the distributor body to the mounting plate and battery minus. You have to work out the power (+) to the Solenoid and the ignition "On" relay connect (minor jumpers).

Spark plug wire / spark plug wire to the coil, and turn the distributor, and Viola! Sparkage! (Spark Plug Tip close to the distributor body).
