Hey guys, I went and bought fusible link wire today and I am ready to go put it on but the only fusible link I can find is right by my battery.(Black cylinder like thing and wires going into it) is there more then one? If so, where are the rest of them? Thx!

I assume you're talking about an 84. If so, there are two fusible links attatched to the large terminal on the starter solonoid. It's the same terminal the battery positive cable attatches to. They are very prone to failure over time because of the heat they get from the exhaust. (The cat is right under them)
On 85 and newer, the links were moved over next to the battery on a junction block. Much better design.

On my 84, there are also 2 fusible links to the left of the battery, in the same area where the positive battery cable starts down behind the engine.
