I have replace my fuseable like twice now and it keep frying it! Its almost like there's a short on the plug in. Its only that wire that shorts out! I have traced it to the fire wall and now I've hit a wall! Lol. Please any ok me else have a continuous short? Or is there a way to abandon and run a whole new one

Had a similar problem when I first got my 80. Do you have remote start or a keyless entry that might be wired for remote start. Great place to start.

That feeds +12 to all injectors, coil, igniter, etc.
You're looking for a short in the main engine harness most likely by the EGR pipe.

I had a similar short but it was an injector wire touching the fuel rail. Oddly enough there were 3 spots of bare wire in a 3 inch section. It popped two fusible links before I found it.

Yup, my issue also. Ended up being a fuel injector wire that had rubbed through the outer wire cover over the years. Had to pull the throttle body to find it.
