Where are all of my fusible links located?

When putting a new engine back in my car, the positive wire was connected to the block and the negative wire to the starter. After frying a computer, I traced the wiring and discovered that problem. Now I get interior lights, but no dash lights, and no fuel pump. I want to check the links that connect all of this before I go tearing wiring out and dropping my fuel tank to replace a fuel pump.

Most of them connect directly to the starter at the same terminal as the pos battery cable. Might be a couple more connected to the power distribution block located between the battery and radiator (down low) - assuming this car has a pass side battery (some were driver side battery, and I don't have a clue on those cars).

Same basic layout

Majority to the starter battery cable lug, rest to the power dist block. Bottom of the rad shroud near the battery or possibly on the pass side near the emissions stuff
