Hey everyone, first time poster(I think) long time lurker/learner. I got a '76 earlier in the year which was running at the time, and I've been fixing things as they fail.
The current problem is that the “engine” fuse keeps blowing when I try to crank. Here are the usual suspects (that I'm aware of) and their states..
Battery, starter, ignition switch, voltage regulator -> brand new (like in the last month)
alternator, coil, plugs, wires -> recently replaced
All other electrical seems to work fine, battery is reading mid 12V (can't start it so don't know what the alternator is putting out, etc)
The last issue I had was a bad ignition switch.. whenI replaced it, it cranked right up, I drove it home. Next time I went to crank, it blew the ignition fuse.
What else in the ignition chain should I be looking at? Is there anything else?? I've looked for loose or frayed wires and can't find anything.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
