Default 73 Nova SS

I have a 73 Nova and need a passenger window but cant find one anywhere. Also i recently installed a Lunati voodoo cam and lost brake pressure and the car has been overheating easier. Yesterday i was messing with the radiator and blew a fuse on a headlight however after replacing the fuse i still dont have marker lights, dashlights, or rear lights (brake lights work) Any tips on where to find parts or troubleshooting these problems would be great.

Overheating - is your timing a bit retarded?
Brakes - depending on how big the cam is, you may not have enough vacuum for power brakes.
Lights - look for another fuse out.

Pick one of the lights that's easy to get to, and see if you have power to the socket. If you do, then start checking grounds. If not, start working back towards the fuse block.

No opinion on the Summit part....I've never used one.

i would start checking the power to the lights, and your grounds. look up a wiring diagram and start trouble shooting it. a blown fuse generally isnt the problem it is the consequence.
