CLOSE but not quite the wire between the black cylinder and the terminal end is the fusible link.
I have collected the correct supplies over the years and replace burnt fusible links on any harnesses which I encounter -

The 12 gauge red wires RUN into 14 or 16 gauge fusible links.
The fusible link should be labeled on the wire - if it isn't I suspect the NEW link wire had metric sizes on them so they were removed.


The positive batt cable has a fusible link between the cable end and the junction on the rad support
