What's the amp capacity of your alternator? If it's over 65 amps or so, the 14 gauge fusible link probably won't carry the charge current immediately after starting. I've seen alternators go to their full rated output for a few seconds after a heavy cranking load, 100 amps or more at times. The only function of a fuse, or a fusible link is to protect the wiring in case of a short, and prevent the wires from catching fire. I'd suggest a 10 or 12 gauge fuse link, and 8 or 10 gauge wire from the alternator to the battery cable at the starter, or even all the way back to the battery positive post. Put the fuse link as close to the battery as possible to protect as much of the wiring harness as you can. Be sure the fuse link/wire harness connection is a very low-resistance one, soldered if possible on both ends. You don't want any heat to develop at the fuse link hookup or it will melt the wire.
