uh oh! good to know! Thanks! I don't remember the source I used
to get my info. There was never any problem with the blower circuit,
other than the original design using a 20A torpedo fuse in the fusebox,
which led to melting the plastic fusebox around it, and sometimes the
insulation on the wire. The "fix" was the 30 amp strip fuse in a
special holder on the fender. In my case, the old fuse crumbled and
I was left out in the 20 below cold.

BTW: regarding the 30 amp blower fuse for 126 and 124: I did the
math. one 16 ga solid copper wire will melt around 30 amps. I have
used this to keep from freezing when the flat fuse broke/burned.
Actually, http://www.interfacebus.com/Copper_Wire_AWG_SIze.html
says 16 gauge will fuse at 117 A.
24 gauge fuses at 29.7 A.
