Fusible link
I orderd a fusible link for my ignition. The original color is red the one i recieved is light brown. Is this the same as the red or am i going color blind in my old age? The thickness in the light brown is much smaller than the red. Hoping someone can give me advice before i install..thanks again. 1978 280z

i really dont know how it took path. all i know is when the car shorted out I did pull the ground and positive quickly to prevent fire. did leave burn mark on my hands. i do have my stereo hooked directly to battery for memory and it blew an inline fuse there as well.

please help really bad day
I pulled into burger king and saw smoke coming from battery area. I raised the hood and noticed the positive side of battery was grounded out on battery holder. I moved the battery enough to stop the ground and short. Now the car will not start. it will turn over and i have fire to the plugs. i do not hear the fuel pump running now. is there any other fusible links other than the 2 cap coverd one on the right fender. i have checked those and they seem to be ok. please help me:cry: scott
