Factory Tach and Pertronix II.

[Sheriff41]

Looking more closely at the diagrams and starting to understand them better, I see that the red/green stripe wire goes to one side of a 14A fuse, #16B or16A. The other side of that fuse is the red/yellow hash #640.
My question now is; if one powers a PII with this wire as suggested and the fuse blows, (one is stuck on the side of the road if no spare available or the driver is unaware of this fuse) is there a better option wire that is NOT fused, but still a full 12V in the RUN position?
Am I making this way too complicated?

What was the final outcome, Geoff?

What was the final outcome, Geoff?

Nothing done yet as far as I know. I've not talked to my friend for a while, but I do know he has all the info I passed on to him. I ought to give him a call and find out. This time of year, he is busy preparing his farm machinery for spring and time to 'play' is limited.
Thanks for the reminder tough.
