Josh280z Posted May 8, 2011 Author Share Posted May 8, 2011 Don't know the short, don't wanna, just don't want it happening again with the old stuff, getting the new stuff, consider it fixed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhm Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 (edited) This should help: "Replacing fusible links". There's numerous solutions to the crappy fusible link issue. I've been using the circuit breakers for a couple years now, and they've been working great. Sometimes the short is in the fusible links themselves. They get old, corroded, loose, etc....and can easily burn out. Good luck with the fix. Edited May 8, 2011 by jhm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zbigtim Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 I used this write up here: http://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/fusiblelinks/index.html This was really well written, made it very easy. I also converted to the '78Z internaly regulated alternator while I was into the power wiring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rejracer Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 I did the above upgrade as well, although on a 72, which only has 1 fusible link. I ended up running 3 wires to mine: I am only using 30 amp circuit breakers for the time being. I have 80 amp fuses, but decided to try the circuit breakers for the time being. It's been rock solid so far, run for about 3 weeks. 1. The Alternator wire (White/Red) 2. The fusible link wire (White) 3. Headlight relay harness A fusible link is just a smaller gauge of wire, but with a specific type of insulator. I have seen fusible links at auto parts stores, autozone to be specific. If you are blowing fusible links, find out first why. And whatever you do, DON'T put in a higher rated fusible link than what the circuit was designed for.
