Was the engine running fine with the MSD already hooked up? If not, re-inspect it's grounds (might also be why your blowing your fusible link). Make sure your battery terminals aren't loose (another possibility regarding your fusible link)....

Re: i have no spark

i found the problem. one of the wires that goes to the starter got melted in half by the headers and i keept overlooking it, so i soldered it back together and im good to go.
