All, i purchased a 1966 Plymojuth Valiant a year ago. after i had it a week, it died. upon investigation, the fusible link had been replaced with an inline fuse. this had blown. after fiddling with it and changing it multiple times, i did some work; replaced battery, alternator, voltage regulator, ballast resistor, coil. i also added a body ground, and after it sat over the winter, it worked for a month. my kid drove it one day and left it at a buddys house. battery drew dowd, jumped it, and it started. drove it home and fuse blew again. inline fuse holder melted. so i put in a 25amp water tight blade fuse. drove it 2 miles and parked. left an hour later and drove home. tried to restart and nothing (fuse had blown). it seems that the fuse predominantly blows when shutting the car off. now a fusible link is essentially a time delay fuse, while the fuse is instantaneous, correct? my questions are 1) what should i use in place of the fusible link, 2) any thoughts on why it blows when shutting the engine off? any help would be greatly appreciated!!
