I'm surprised you would think I don't know a fusible link when I see it dude. I've owned my share of POS GM product
The fusible link at the starter is there for the starter. My Z28, Jimmy, Cutlass, and Hearse all had the traditional pathetic 10ga wire direct from the starter to the battery.
For sure - some cars
doinclude a fusible link in some form on the alternator charge lead. Many do not.
I stand by the opinion that putting a fuse in the charge lead is unnecessary and if one DOES want to include it, the proper way is to put in two, one at each end. When I install judged and a I saw a single fuse in the charge lead I would ask what the fuse protected. After they answered I would ask about the opposite component. Generally this was met with
WHOOPS - suddenly you get 0 for proper system fusing
