Default Fuse/Relay to Distibutor

Without going into too many details, wiring from scratch for a race car. Trying to put the power to the distributor on a relay/switch combo. If I were to fuse this, what size fuse would I need? Looking over the manuals, there's a 50 amp on the blk/yellow going to the distributor system, but it's shared among other things. Any input is greatly appreciated!
92 integra, OBD1

What size does the wire look like feeding power to the distributor? I'm sure its only 16 gauge. I would use an inline ATC 20A or smaller. Anything bigger and the wire becomes the fuse and bad things happen.

Not 100% on that. Looks like the same as the actuator on the starter. Maybe 10g? Has a thin little blue with it which I believe is rpm though I could be wrong.

Trust me it's not 10 gauge that's what most household dryer outlets are wired with. Use a pair of wire strippers and figure it out.

The wires referenced on this site http://www.civic-eg.com/causeforalar...onnector_4.jpg mention 10g Butt connectors for the wiring.

It's the same size that comes off of the ignition switch.
