Installing an electronic distributor on MGB #1

I have a Pertronix MGB distributor for negative ground. My MG is a 1974 B that is also negative ground. I put it in and when I tried to start, it kept blowing a fuse. What can be done to prevent this or what type of fuse should I use?

Can you explain how you have connected it up? What wires have you connected where?

Did you follow the installation instructions?

The ignition system should not be fused on a MGB. confused smiley

Life's most persistent and urgent question is, "What are you doing for others?"
