72 Dart Swinger Fuse Blowing (New to Older Cars)

IF (and I say if) someone has replaced the fuse link with a 30A fuse, that is nowhere near large enough.

Start by going there and downloading the 72 shop manual for free (Thanks to AbodyJoe)

There's some more good info and additional manuals here

Unrelated to your question, but wander around in there for awhile, as well as the Master Tech Service Conference stuff

Last and possibly most important, read this article

http://www.madelectrical.com/electricaltech/amp-gauges.shtml

which came from here

Even if you do not do the ammeter bypass as in that article, it points out the pitfalls of these old girls. Most any connector is suspect, as well as switches themselves. In some cases the ammeter itself can give trouble.

Im using a 30 amp inline fuse in my demon and have had no issues...... Untill the voltage regulator went bad and she was overcharging almost up to 18-20 volts.
