    Anybody have a clue why I might be blowing fuses at over 2500 RPM's? That's the only time it does it.It's the fuse that is for my directional signals and my back-up lights.It's on a 71 Skylark.Any insight will be appreciated.Thanks Jeff B.:Do No:

    Voltage?

    Have you checked your alternator output? Could be overcharging...:Do No:

    voltage regulator

    does your car still have a voltage regulator ? if so , it sounds like a voltage regulator breaking down under heat and allowing too much voltage to pass thru .
    if no voltage regulator , then alternator regulator is bad or whole is unit bad .
