I have a 75... do the wire colors into the fusible links not matter from the stock harness? On the 76-78 models the white wires are all power. On mine, the 80amp link has white wires in and out, and the 40amp link has both white with red stripe.

If I did a set up like this and cut the wires below the fusible link box, do you assume the way the wire in is relates to the links on top? Or in the box somewhere do they switch around at all?

Here is a pic of how mine looks. This was photoshopped on top of the Atlantic Z write up. Not sure if anyone is still following this old thread.... trying to get some info.

It might not be as simple as just replacing the fuse links. Each one is for a different circuit or circuits, and you need to be careful which ones you put together, as in post #1, for safe driving.

That set up is 'Mickey Mouse'. I said that in 2007 and I still contend that today. The one circuit that is jumped together won't blow when it should and depending on what it's for the car may burn the car to the ground.

I bought a MAXI fuse distribution block. I wasn't going to do that set up, but I don't know which wires go to what. Unlike later models it isn't easy to tell which ones are from power except the one white one that comes directly from the starter.

But like that set up posted above, are the wires in the link just pass throughs? Meaning the wires just go straight in, loop in the fuse, and go out. So do they cross in there somewhere?

On the original setup, the fusible link completes the circuit. The wires don't cross anywhere.
