This doesn't sound like a short. It sounds more like your charging 
system is not working right.

Let me go out on a limb: You have a 71 which was converted to carbs 
because the FI wasn't working right. The carbs work fine, but you 
wish the headlights were brighter.

If so, your voltage regulator is bad. I'm sending you my charging 
system FAQ directly.
