Thanks again for the info.It will be a couple days before I can get back to the car. Fuse link? You mean that smaller gauge wire thats hanging empty off the positive cable at the battery?
The fuse link is in series. It is a fuse that feeds power from the battery, through the firewall, into the interior. I believe? that in your older car the "big red" and "big black" ammeter leads go through separate connectors, IE separate from the bulkhead connector.
