Ok everyone I have a question for ya. I have a 79 gmc and on the ride home tonight my car just died. I new it was electrical but couldn't figure out where. I checked all the fuses(like three times). I had power to lights but that was just about it. Then it hit me. I remembered when I installed my new motor that the fuseable links looked old. Of course I didn't change them because I was so happy to get the new motor. To make a long story short ten min. under hot headers and I got the car running(for now) My question is this. Should I replace all of them with stock style links or make a custom fuseable link pannel. I don't know if this would work but What I was thinking was run them to an easy to access spot (on the firewall most likely) and put the generic links with fuses in them like in a box or in a row or something like that. Any input would be great.

I think that is an excellent idea, but one thing to consider, if you aim for classic plates it may not be able to be modified (or visibly)
I would consider putting the links somewhere like behind the glove box.
easy to get to but hard to find if you don't know about them.

too late for mine.

I think your idea is a good one and I don't think I would worry about classic plates. In most states it has more to do with the year of the car than anything else. Like in AZ all the car has to be is 25 years old they don't care what you do to it as long as it passes emissions (where applicable) and has a headlight and a taillight.

Besides, no state in their right mind is going to enact a rule that could be detrimental to the safety of a vehicle.

And speaking of safety, I wouldn't run any power wiring into the glove box especially if it has the potential to handle high current. Most of those glove box inserts are made of cardboard or plastic that burns easily. I saw the effects of a shorted battery on a 99 blazer. It completely bypassed the the fusible links and went right for the 4 gauge power wire that ran an aftermarket subwoofer. About 3 foot of that wire was toast up to the fuse where it stopped and the heat from it melted some factory wires that luckily only went to subsystems like the windshield wipers. But the electrical system on that truck was flaky from then on. Power door locks freaking out, Hatch release kept flaking out etc.

Anyway current always takes the path of least resistance. In the previous example that was the subwoofer power wire. Fusible links usually perform that function to protect major electrical systems from potentially damaging overloads and I wouldn't want them anyware near anything that could catch fire.

Keep it handy under the hood, you're not going to be doing much electrical work while driving down the freeway (at least I hope not :-D ) so there is no real purpose to have it in the glove box.

I'd just replace the fuseable link. I've only had one fuseable link blow on any of my Elkys in the 20 years that I've owned them.
