Default Fusible Link

Looks like my fusible link is gone off the starter and Bubba twisted the wires together!Since I am dying to drive this car and this is one of the last things I need to do before puting the battery in,can someone tell me what size fusible link to get for my 79' L48?Please don't tell me to search it,I already did that!

According to the 74 service manual the link at the starter should be 14 guage. I would think it would be the same for 79.

More info that might be helpful.
