Anybody know he amperage of the fusible links? (80 280zx)

Looking for the amperage for the fusible links so I can swap out to circuit.

Are you asking because you are switching the fusible links out for Maxifuse's or something similar?   (Don't know what your "swap out to circuit" means)

Here are the standard fusible link current ratings:

Pink 30 amp 
Green 40 amps 0.50mm² 
Red 50 amps 0.69mm² 
Yellow 60 amps 
Black 80 amps 1.25mm² 
Blue 100 amps

Yes. I want to swap to MaxiFuse. Thank you for the info!

What about Br (own)?

As far as I know ....  Brown  20 amps 0.30mm²  which completes the list.

Additionally,  I converted to a Mini ANL fuse block, which I think is the same one that Mike W used in his car, and it has performed well for about 3 years now.

Yes I chose to use one by DB Link and it utilizes mini ALN fuses as S30Driver has stated.  It also has a 2 digit display which alternates between showing voltage as well as total current draw, which can be somewhat helpful when troubleshooting electrical issues. 

I can't recall the exact sizes of the fuses that I used but I believe they are 50A each (there are 2 distribution circuits in the product).  I rewired a lot of my car and also added some additional components (ie stereo, amps, subs, etc) and so I ended up calculating the approximate max current draw from each circuit and used that as a basis for choosing the fuses I used.  Here's a picture of the product:

Hope that helps.  Let me know if you have any other questions.

Mike.
