    Dropped in the 302 and new battery and nothing, nada no power anywhere. Not even the headlights.
    How does the battery get to the fuse box / rest of the car? is it from the big left lug on the solenoid? I noticed there were little black cables there, but they seem awful small to be powering the car with power. One of them is broke. I assume both of these supposed to go there? Though Id ask before I go hooking mystery wires up to the battery terminal..

    Well since it says fuse and link on it you are correct about it being fusable link.
