I think  I was told to either put it on the positive  
side of the battery  (there is a red wire that is about AWG 12 gauge  
wire) that was  connected to the positive battery post connector  
(forgot where the  other end connected - but it had to be about 10  
inches away as that  is the length of the wire), or the fuse was to be  
placed between the  connection on the chassis rail next to the battery  
that the two red  wires on the engine wiring harness connect to.




Steve. I believe the 67-69 Corvairs used that fusible link. Here is what  
the 67 shop manual said about the links:
 
Three fusible links are locatedin the engine compartment wiring harnesses  
and each link is identified with its gage size. The same size wire with a  
special hypalon insulation must be used when replacing a fusible link. the 
links  are:
1. The pigtail lead at the battery positive cable is a 14 gage, brown  
fusible link protecting the 10 gage battery charging circuit. This wire is an  
integral part of the battery cable assembly and servicing requires replacing 
the  complete battery cable assembly.
2. A 16 gage black fusible link is installed between the junction block  
and in-line connector to protect all unfused wiring of 12 gage or larger.  It 
is a servicable piece and not integral with the wiring harness. 
3. The generator warning light and field circuitry (16 gage wire) is  
protected by a fusible link (20 gage wire) used in the "battery feed to voltage  
regulator #3 terminal" wire. The link is installed as a molded splice in the 
 generator and forward lamp harness and is serviced by splicing in a new 20 
gage  wire as required.

I think that #2 is the one you will need to add, but #3 is closely aligned  
with that wire. The 67 shop manual shows it pretty well
