Quick HEI wiring question

Although unfused, that circuit is protected by the main fusible link that should be located in the engine compartment near the positive battery terminal / junction block on the fender. So as long as you stay with the same gauge wire as the rest of that circuit (typically 12 gauge) you don't have to add an inline fuse to the HEI feed wire. That's how GM usually wired up the HEI distributors (no inline fuse) in the vehicles where they were stock equipment.

Fantastic, thank you for the quick response.
