Never occurred to me? So that CB is only handling juice when the car is not running.
I should have paid more attention in auto shop!
OK, going out on a limb here. So your MSD box wire in not protected it if the car is running because you have it hook up to the protected side of the CB.
Why is the CB there then? What is protecting this when the car is running, the glass fuses?
