Do I use a fuse?

I've had my Crane Hi-6 ignition in my car since last June and have had no problems. When I installed it, I didn't put a fuse between the battery and Hi-6 because the instructions didn't say anything about whether or not to use one. Lately that's been bothering me. Should I go back and put a fuse in and if so, what size should it be?

Personally, i would NOT use a fuse because thats the main feed to power your ignition and a fuse would pose a restriction. If it really bothers you i'd recommend using a fusable link 2 gauges smaller (bigger #) than the power wire.
