There is nothing more satisfying than running into a short succinct well done video on a subject, especially considering all of the superfluous garbage out there. My respect and thanks to you sir.

[jonathanglock]

Thank you for the video it was the best explanation I have ever seen about feasible links. Thank you sir for the knowledge

Well done video on protecting automotive electrical work.

thank you for you're time and you're video 🙏

Just the information I was looking for! Thanks, Wiring up an EZ Wire harness in my 65 Chevy C-10 Truck and almost ready to hook up the battery! But need to put the fusible link first

[franklynpertuz]

Thank you sir I enjoyed the video and I learned a lot and I have a card it's a fusible link you just gave me an idea of my problem was thank you thank you so much I'm very grateful I just happened to scope along here and then I looked at it and now yes thank you thank you

Smart man putting them in that location I gota rip my whole set up off and the intake to replace mine

[mikesilva]

I just started on my wiring project and my kit came with fusible link. Which the installation guide specifically says to hook up the link.
Also my car is 1947 Dodge Deluxe! Thanks foe the video!

Hello Larry! Thank you for this valuable tip I have been looking for. Such an easy to understand and practical approach. Question? At 1:03 of video, you said you installed 16g links to/on the power feed of the car. Is that power feed the wire from the Alternator to solenoid or something else? Thanks so much! Blessings from Michigan.

Question , I could I use 14guage on to a 10 guage ? I happen to have some 14 guage wire, but if I need to order 16 guage , I'll order it. I'd appreciate any advice

[brunow]

Can I replace a fusible link with a regular fuse of appropriate size? Thank you.

[davidm]

Thank you sir for the informative tutorial.

What’s the purpose of having a FL instead of a fuse which is much easier to replace especially in the middle of a blizzard?

[letsfly]

Great video. If I was to install a higher amperage alternator on my 2003 suburban do I need to increase the size of my fusible link. I have a 14 gauge one on it now that came on it from factory. And I want to put on a 160amp alternator.

[today]

Why would you install 2 fusible links for the power feed of the car instead of just 1 (at the beginning of the video)?

[andredre]

Thanks for uploading this information. I have a few questions. If you have two 16g wires to the heavy gauge wire, what gauge is that main wire you're using? Also, can I have several different gauge wires going to 1 fusible link, if so, how would you do the math to find out which gauge link to use?

[rollingthunder]

To protect an alternator wire, would you use 2, one at the alternator and another at the battery?

[snowyowl]

I'm just having trouble reading a diagram with a fusible link. It shows the wire of interest splitting at a connector/splice towards a fusible link and separately towards an EEC relay. Continuity before splice up to EEC relay checks out. Does that mean the fusible link is also good?

Thank you for getting back to me, ...I am a senior trying to help out my son with is '50 chev truck.
It is an '86 s10 frame with the original 2.8l v6. It has a aftermarket temp gauge, oil pressure gauge, and an ammeter.
It also has a 3wire alternator. One main positive post, and a #1 and #2 terminal. I hooked the ammeter from the #2 terminal, went to the ammeter, then from the ammeter to the battery positive.
Of course, that does not work. I hooked up a set of these gauges back in 1972 with some help, but today, am scratching my head.
Can you help? Thank you.

Flame and smoke at 4:37?? What about adjacent wiring such as those bundled in a loom?
