I have been meaning to do this project as well.

I add a pig tail into the terminal long enough to attach the fusible link and be tucked out of the way , solder the connection and use heat shrink tubing to isolate the bare connection , The fusible link to the fender junction block should be about 9" if I remember correctly . Then on a second fusible link I will add a butt connector and keep it in your glovebox along with a spare set of points or an extra HEI module . That way if your fusible link does go bad while away from home you can use the spare and attach using the butt connector already stashed away , Doing this could save you on the side of the road , and be repaired in minutes . Always keep basic tools and wire cutters and connectors within reason in your truck . 
Here is what you need --
fits all GM Cars/Trucks
14 Gauge Thickness
9" Lead Wire
