Cut up the old fusible link today. The inner core wire was 0.040 inch or about 1.0 mm. To get the exterior sheathing removed the inner wire was about 18 gague. Vintageautox

Sounds like the clutch disk is stuck to the flywheel, and the release bearing isn't working. Can you shift it into a gear when the motor isn't turning over?

No - no smoke, no flash - just wiggled it and it stopped allowing electrons to move. Probably corrosion in the link (da green stuff) so thinking just replace it with a new - good fusible link. Any ideas? - I guess I will head down to the parts store and see what they got.

Bummer! - Two states and 1,300 miles away. Looks like it has lots of good parts on it.

Hello! Was wiggling wires under the hood and my engine died. Check and found no continuity (electron flow) across the three to four inch long fusible link that is inline between the battery (+) line to the Computer. Exterior wire diameter (with insulation) appears to be 12 gague. Would like to replace with fusible link - but need to know if there is a certain amp. size and or guage? I figure you folks have dealt with this in the past? And any specific Auto Parts store? On Sundays (tommorrow) only O'Rileys and Auto Zone open around here. Weekdays - I usually go to NAPA. Car is stock 76Z - with stock computer and orginal wiring. Thanks in advance!
