O.K. here is the situation.
I drove my C20 1964 292 engine for the first time in the night. Everything was fine for about 10 miles then my dash light when out. I still had my headlights so I thought I was O.K.
The next day I start looking at the problem and come to find out I also had no rear lights, but my turn signals work. So first thing I look at the fuse panel and I find a blown fuse. Now, I change the fuse and everything works.
Here is the puzzling part! If I idle everything is fine but the moment I drive off the fuse blows. The fuse blows when I have my headlights on.
I guess I have electrical issues. I really hate finding shorts!!!
