I'm not making an obvious wiring error, am I? 200 1981

Here goes.
First the ballast resistor looks like a short white cigarette. It's by the passenger side along the left wheewell. Just below the hood hinge assy. Two wires connect to it.
You mentioned that you did disconnect the wires to the pump at the relay for the fuel pump. And got another blown fuse!
O.K. this eliminates the fuel pump as being the problem. One step at a time. What I'm trying to do is work backwards till you no longer get a blown fuse. You are right in eliminating one wire at a time.
The only concern here is how many fuses till the problem is found.
With the pump wires still disconnected try removing another wire till only the power wire is left- #30. What happened???
