I think it's always better not to run the car's main power source wire down to the starter solenoid. Plus, I think it's much better to use a high amperage fuse holder and fuse (the screw-down type) instead of fusible link. Again, I am just completing all this wiring on my car now and will be posting photos soon in my build thread.
