Get rid of those cheap fuses that keep blowing, splice in a heavy guage wire and buy yourself a fire extinguisher.
Nobody gets in to see the wizard! Ain`t no way! Ain`t no how!

Your dealng with 40 year old wiring, that's been hacked on over the years,....why bother!,....just replace everything with new harnesses available from Year One/M&H wiring,.....peace of mine,trouble free from nightmare wiring gremlins
i agree. if you a) don't have the cash for the new harnesses, or b) want the experience of troubleshooting wiring, then go for it.
otherwise you may well save yourself hours if not days of time and frustration.

theres a fusible link AND a 30amp fuse socket! ... and when the car stalls it wont start in park, but will nuetral. the carb is tighten down good! looks like the original bottom half of the fusible link rotted out by the fire wall so he put a 30amp fuse as the bottom half of the fusible link...it doesnt make sense!! but i took it out and put another bottom part of a fusible link in and i havnt lost power or anything, but when shifting to reverse it still may stall unless i have my foot on the gas ever so slightly ... it almost sounds like its got a mild cam ha but really the low idle is too low and the regular idle is a little above the norm..

You need a fusible link not a fuse in the main circuit. Fusible links are slow blow for a reason. Fuses blow fast when spiked.
My goodness. He blew them both. what does that tell ya!

I have a new NSS i got from a buddy still in the box, i looking at the harness.. it looks good.. BUT i didnt pull it off yet, at the time i was noticing the snapped Speedo cable and just replaced it... But if the NSS harness is good, where do i look next?! Yes the car is 38 years old, but its a southern car and a lot of stuff on it is like new, plus the low miles help,.. The Car is tuned Great now, doesnt stall or blow the fuse in reverse ever since the fusible link blew, and shifting into the gears while not moving, it doesnt blow a fuse, instead it does it while driving when RPM have a dramatic change, then like i said the alt. meter goes Frantic and the fuse blows... i must say , i have never seen a fusible link go so quick!!! it drove fine for about 8 miles.. i guess the NSS has to be looked over thouroughly to really know:/ After a fuse blows or the F.L. blew, it WILL NOT start in park just Neutral

You can chase gremlins, or you can fix it the right way. If you have the bucks you can replace everything. If you want to learn something and can work methodically then get a factory service manual, some good wire, tape, an ohm meter, solder and soldering gun and learn how to fix it yourself. Electrical work is a lot like plumbing, and the wiring diagrams in the FSM have never let me down. You got a dead short dealing with the NSS wiring. I've seen factory shift linkages chafe and cut into the wiring before. Also have fixed my share of hack jobs, both under the dash and under the hood. If you have the patience to go one wire at a time, you can fix that old harness.
