64 barracuda fusible link
This is the infamous MAD electrical article, and is a great simplified diagram of main power
Catalog
NOTICE that the fuse link takes all battery power except to the starter, and feeds it through the bulkhead, through the ammeter, and to the under dash welded splice. It branches off from there and goes back out to the alternator, taps off to the fuse panel, the headlight switch, and the ignition switch. NONE OF THESE ITEMS JUST MENTIONED is protected by any fuse whatsoever, only by the fuse link
NOTE I tend to think in functionality instead of electron flow. So when I say "it goes from the battery to whatever" this is just the path, not electron flow. Some on here take issue with that. I grew up in the age of vacuum tubes, and understand neg-to-pos electron flow perfectly well
