Now my problem is the fusable link wire that goes to the junction on the firewall. Originally i think the wire was a fusible link but somewhere along the lines an inline fuse was put on it and now I keep poping the fuse. It seems to happen mainly when its raining or snowing. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks

You spliced the 4.8 alternator wiring into the '79 wiring? Not to sound like a smart ass, but why? The factory 4.8 harness has the alternator wiring all contained, so you shouldn't have had to do anything to it. The wires go from the alternator straight to the PCM, and PCM will regulate it.
