<VV> cigarette Lighter Suggestion fuse info

[Frank DuVal]

OK, here is the result of reading the 61 and 65 shop manual.

I am not crazy, OK that's stretching the truth ggggg.  The early models 
have the lighter circuit fused at 10 amps.

The late models run the 14 gage wire from the lighter to a juction where 
the 10 gage wire runs all the way to the battery. So the late models are 
fused at dash melting point.

Another reason the earlies are superior! gggg
