Ignition Fusible Link Blowing after Lean Burn Conversion
Update that may be the answer to my problem. After inspecting under the dash for broken connections and coming up short I went back to wiring diagram and noticed the ignition switch runs through the Oil Pressure Gauge pigtail which reminded me I had tried to move it out of the way when tightening the distributor the first reinstall. I pulled it apart to see this mess:
I cannot confirm that this solves my issue, but based on timeline and being in the same circuit as the guilty fusible link I have high hopes this solved the problem.
Only other question is this. Does the voltage regulator connections look a little worse for wear? There's a sticky substance which I assume is the tar you can see on the backside leaking through maybe? It was sticky enough to make it chore to get the plug off and it broken the raised plastic bit that plugs the Dark Blue wire into the regulator so now I'm waiting on two pigtails and another fusible link to try again. Will update the post when I can confirm or deny this was my issue.
