I have a 1960 Chevrolet Pickup, I have a 350 smallblock with an edelbrock 650cfm. I bought all new wiring harnesses from the guys here at Chevy Duty, and have installed them. I had my electrical choke hooked into the fuse block unfused 12v. One of my fuses blew and my ground wire that I have hooked to the block, was getting really hott! Help me please
[updated:LAST EDITED ON Jun-13-02 AT 11:32 AM (CST)]These can make you crazy, but be patient and hunt it down. Blowing fuses is kinda serious. Check that circuit in your service manual and trace it back. Look for wire that could be making contact with metal. Are you also running a HEI distributer ? What OTHER electrical stuff has been added? (A/C? Stereo? Etc) Start by checking ground wires. (yes, plural) Is the battery ground making good contact with bare metal on the block? Install grounds from the engine to firewall, (or body panel) and from body to frame. If you have accessories like stereo and a/c check the ignition and headlight switches. Is it hot to the touch ? Time to install relays. I think the current issue of Classic Trucks has a column about relays.
