Six O one half dozen of the other.  The fuse will be more convenient to replace if 
necessary.    I think GM went to fusible links because they could save 14 cents per 
vehicle :-)  Plus it will be obvious when the fuse goes, fusible links can blow 
without being obvious.

All,
 
I recently upgraded replaced my alternator with a CS130 unit (105 amp), using the info 
from Wes Vann's page on chevelles.com ( 
http://www.chevelles.com/techref/ftecref14.html) and everything works great.
 
I replaced the alternator because my old externally regulated unit went bad and blew 
the fusible link from the battery post <--> alternator.  Now I need to splice it back 
together.

My father tells me I should keep a fusible link, while I'm inclined to put an inline 
fuse (30amp?) in there.  Is one way better than the other?
