Charging system fusible link issue
I’ve got a ‘95 6 speed coupe with a 383 stroker and had to remove the alternator to pull the driver side valve cover, in the process the output wire grounded onto the alternator and it blew at-least one fusible link behind the battery, I think both are bad so I’m gonna try and replace them with inline fuses because I haven’t been able to find the proper fusible links local or even online. Unfortunately both of the ones I’m going to replace are unreadable so my main question is one will an inline fuse even work for me and two what amp fuse should I put in it?

A FoMoCo or MoPar dealer might actually have on the shelf with a ring terminal. Most auto parts stores - NAPA I'd think for sure.

Fuses are 'never' suggested for a fusible link replacement. Fusible link 'wire' should be an easy buy locally I'd think. I don't get the can't find!
