Hey everyone, I have a 69 coupe with a 302. I have developed a short in the instrument lamps circuit. I keep blowing fuses. What's the best way to find the short, I mean without cutting the head of a 1/4 inch bolt and waiting for it to start smoking. Or maybe that is the best way! HA! Thanks in advance.

Unplug the harness and look at all of the wires one at a time.
