When it comes to fuse-able links, they're supposed to be as close to the accessory the wire is feeding, in general. Better= one for EACH accessory. Yes, breakers can be useful, though in certain high-load situation, they can 'cycle' too.

MAD has several tech articles that address several areas, as well as by-passing a factory ammeter.

The MAD tech stuff is a great basic source of info, and even if you don't use the suggestions, worth a read. I suggest getting the concept of the 'power-up' advice clear, will help when looking at either upgrading or fixing any car electrical system.

If doing an engine harness, always upgrade the alt charge wire to a larger gauge, for future needs if not current needs (no pun intended!).

If you're looking at doing extensive repairs, you may consider a 'kit' from some place, like American Auto Wire. You get an updated fuse block (for one), and could save you time overall. (now or in the future troubleshooting).

If you're not going for the factory look, the woven expandable loom (covering) is great stuff, and looks even better than it works.
