Re: 72 super Cheyenne 402, blowing fuseable link/fuse when cranking

Um yeah, stop grounding power wires. Where is this fusible link wire you replaced with fuses? Give us pics----- With the HEI the yellow wire at the starter should have been removed from the harness all the way to the bulk head at the firewall. At the bulkhead you should have replaced the yellow wire with a direct wire to the HEI cap...(preferably at least) a 14g pink. Leave the dash out at this point, replace the fuses where the fuselink is, completely unplug the alt.

Starter: batt cable to large terminal, purple wire to S (S terminal is closest to block with the starter installed). Yellow wire removed as previously stated.

Hook up battery and turn key on fuses blow, report back here.
