fuse size instead of fusible link(s)

72 C-10 - I-6

Starting over - found an old post I'd made - geesch - memory is going!

Have 20 amp fuse instead of fusible link - truck starts - fuse blows - stays running and everything works.

Been through all the "electrical" and "shorts" posts - can't find anything similiar - Rang out all the wiring - no shorts -

Ringing to ground - red wire - when key is on - even with voltage regulator unhooked - all good at back of ignition (took it out to check even).

Any idea where to start next? Am I just under fused at 20A (fusible link was 14A)?
