69 Stingray, 427 electrical?
My brother found a 69 in a barn. Cleaned it up and got it running. He passed away. A friend of the family was helping his wife move it and hooked the battery up backwards. Trailered it to my garage. Questions are. Fusible link, master fuse. Where do I start looking? What could have been damaged? I'm out of state a lot and don't have much time to work on it.

The fusible links are down by the starter.

Post some photos when you can. Hopefully the fusible links did their job, and that's all you need to fix.
