Have a 72 chevelle with an SS dash that I just installed. just checking to make everything was working and whenever I push in the cigarette lighter it blows to 20 amp fuse. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Yeah, don't push in the lighter ;)

Seriously it sounds like your lighter element is bad and pulling too much current. You will need to replace the element.
