 noomg: the cigarette lighter was fused by the #3/bottom fuse in the fuse box(purple wires), and yes, was a constant source of "blowing" due to the fiber washer inside the lighter holder corroding and allowing the purple fused/hot wire to ground itself.
Someone has bypassed this so as you stated, an inline fuse would be wise now.
Also, the wiring diagram is actually for '73 and VERY early '74 cars; the later harnesses had the fuel pup fused which has a GREEN wire for the connection and not the WHITE wire(unfused, ignition switched) as shown in the diagram
