Default Electrical Problem 1979 Corvette
My corvette was running fine and all of a sudden my volt meter went to zero and the Batt light came on. Could this mean that the fusible link by the starter went bad. If so can I replace the fusible link with a fuse and what amperage fuse should I use? Thanks JAY

Did the car die when the lights came on?
