Re: [Amc-list] usible Link wire gage size

[Wrambler242@xxxxxxxxxxx]

I never liked them either, just a plain PIA to find, fix and insulate the crimp connection.
 NO matter how well the replacement went in I did not and do not trust them once replace.
Now, If I had to deal with one, I'd go to a fuse.
   Lucky for me the Jeep underhood harness I ran came with a complet PCM unit that is totally fused.
There are no fuse links in the American.
