When i bought my car all 3 were blown. I used some wire connectors and regular spade fuses because finding those fusible links were not easy. Looks getto but more reliable till i put a 2gen fuse bar in. I just took my battery into autozone yesterday and upgraded to a bigger better one and they gave me a full price trade in value. Keep goin itll be running in no time.

I used 3 of the 25 amp fuses in there. Works perfect for me. I have only had to replace 1 in 2 years bacause of a buddy that a layed a tool on the positive terminal and it shorted. Although next time i would go with a 30amp fuse on the main one.

I actually didn't have much problem at all finding the fusible links. I thought I was going to have to use the mfg std but I just picked up some generic ones from local auto parts store and they worked. It's not running yet but it is turning over, I certainly made much more out of that then I needed too, thanks for the help. I would probably be re-wiring right now.
