Short on Circuit 7 (not six) - 1974 Plymouth Valiant Scamp
I'll have to grab a socket on my next scrap yard run. That sounds like something that will come in handy for years.I would also pull out the rear seat and inspect the rear harness. The trunk lite circuit, for sure
You can eliminate the hazard flashers by simply unplugging the flasher. Make sure you get that and not the turn flasher
Certainly possible, the dome lamps.
If this gets difficult, investigate one of the flashing circuit breaker test rigs. These are a light duty breaker that you stick into the fuse holder. The short causes the breaker to cycle. The short generates a magnetic field in the harness, and the kit comes with a magnetic meter which you run along the harness to detect a change in the current
Just for reference, there are others, and cheaper copies

Another thing you can do, is to "rig" an old stop/ tail socket with an 1157 and wire it to the fuse holder. Wire the socket shell to one clip, twist the two socket wires together and wire them to the other fuse clip. The light will show when there is a load on the circuit, and show brightly when there is a short. The lamp will prevent any damage to any of the wiring in that circuit.
