Default Blowing 50 amp ingnition fuses on starting

When I try to restart the car after waming up it blows the 50 amp ingnition fuse under the hood.Does anyone know what causes this and how to fix it?
The battery is a brand new red top optima that is fully charged.
TIA
Mark

Talking blowing fuses

Check the wires to the starter around your headers, or manifolds. You probably have a wire touching the exhaust. This happened to me after header install once. Hope this helps.

You could be right on that as it has headers.

Turned out to be the starter mounting bolts backed out.
