Default How much current does *X* draw?

Looking to find how much current some of the power hogs on the car take.

Horns
Blower motor
Starter solenoid
Headlights (high/low)
Washer pump
TH400 detent
Coil
A/C compressor

Any ideas?

The best way to get exact figures would be to hook a meter into the system and operate the system. If you just need a rough figure you can look at what the system is fused at and estimate a little less current than the fuse. I haven't seen any published figures.

volts divided by resistance gives you amps ( or current).

there's a comple list of all accessory current draw in the back of the chevrolet service manual. If you don't have one let me know and i'll scan if for you.
