Grounding Fire (almost) - Now What?

Bulkhead connector appears intact and unmelted.

Before I bought the car, the engine was out and rebuilt. Perhaps they got carried away with the tape - nothing else appears modified to my untrained eye. I had the carb and manifold put on a couple years back my the local mopar shop - they may have gotten tape happy as well.

Where would I locate the fusible link to check it?

It is at the bulkhead on the harness from the battery starter relay, forward light harnesses. If you still have power inside then it survived.
