Dennis,
No fuse or fuseable link used. Wired mine with #6 from
alternator to battery. Tuff Stuff has a good tech line.
I added a fuse box and terminal post, from Del City, for my
cooling fans and other accessories.Used the same set up for
my Petty Stock Car Project. Here is a link to a pic....the
red wire is from the alternator.
