25 amp should be fine. Go too small and you'll get a high end miss fire. In all reality, you could go with a 30 or bigger (do they even make them bigger in normal fuses?) if it shorts to ground, it'll blow what ever you put in there regardless of the amp rating.

Thanks Andy

another question, when i unhooked the balast resistor, there was a green wire that ran from it to the elec. choke on my edelbrock 1406. what should i connect this wire too. it was hooked to the same terminal that the yellow wire that runs to the starter was hooked to.

Just run a wire inside to a switched power point on the fuse box. ACC or IGN would work.
