I did a stupid.... Help!

Well I moved my battery to the rear driver side bin today. Worked great, but I didn't have time to secure the bat before going to work. Long story short the battery shifted and grounded out. The car died.

Yea I know it was stupid... my fault...

Anyway I'm pretty sure I just blew the main fuseable link. Does anyone know the part number for this? I called up some local parts houses (auto zone, advanced, etc) And they were no help to say the least. It looks like a relay and lewss like an inline fuseable link? Anyway any help in finding this little sucker would be appreciated.

Thanks all..

First and foremost, secure the battery, and get a battery casing. I pulled my fusible link from the junkyard If worst comes to worst convert it to the second gen setup.

You can use the second gen fuse links the plug right in to the first gen fuse holder. The this is the order of the fuses you need 30,40,30 that for the 12a just pull out the old fusible links and these pop right into place. It will be a little tight but it works.

https://www.rx7club.com/1st-generation-specific-1979-1985-18/fusible-link-conversion-thread-443820/ that recommends 30-60-30 but i think 40 would be ok too.

Dont be an idiot. I hope you installed an in-line fuse in the battery cable within 6 inches from the terminal.
