Just installed a new rebuilt transmission, radiator, heater core and cadyllidic convertor. Now after it was all installed my engine is now missing and thhe headlamp fuse keeps blowing. We had to pull the dash to replace heater core. Somebody said probably have a pinched wire. Would it be in the dash or the wiring harness from the tranny. Any help would be great!

i would look first behind the dash at the switch.

the missing may be plugs, wires, cap or rotor.

Check the fuses under the hood when you turn on headlight. If they don't blow then the fuse inside the truck may be grounding out.
