Fusible link keep burning up

Hello all
I recently changed plugs and wires. now my fusible link keeps burning up. after i changed plugs and wires the car 87 gta, ran great. did beautiful burn out car ran 3 more feet then died.

I opened hood and seen link smoking, near starter. i checked to see if any wires were touching. didnt see any thing. changed link. drove care around 100 miles, car died again
now i changed link 3 more times. as soon as i connect the battery, fuse burns right out. i checked all wires under the hood i dont see any issues. how do i check wiring via mulitmeter?

Thanks for looking

Sure you have the right fusible link? Incorrect gauge wire will catch fire faster than a fox news headline.
