On your 1979 the 2 fusible link wires most likely are red in color and 1.0mm in size.
The 2 fusible link wires connect to a single 3/8" wire crimp eyelet and attach to the Battery Lug of the starter solenoid.
1.0mm fusible link wire = 16 gauge fusible link wire for reference.
Remember, disconnect your battery when working with these wires, they are HOT anytime the Battery is connected.
