Not sure if new thread was needed or not for this. However my red electrical tape method of marking which wire was which failed me. I had to cut the wires to replace the Fusible link and now am having trouble determining which one is which. I am having trouble finding the wiring diagram for this. Any help? Thanks

One of your wires (curved one) appears longer than the other. I suspect this is the one that goes to the battery clamp side of the fusible link. Don't have access to my car right now to do my own visual.

One goes to the starter, the other goes to the alt. I would get a test light and probe each end and see which is which. I will have to do some digging to see what mine was. I know I just used a multi-fuse block when I did my battery relocation.

Edit: After looking at some diagrams, I believe the Alternator cable gets the fuse, and the starter cable goes straight to the 12v+ terminal. I know the littler white wire also got fused.

So how can I determine which one is the alternator even with a multimeter. Both the ones with the plastic connectors are still intact, I was able to get those out easy.

Put the meter in resistance mode and check for continuity (<2 ohms) between each wire and the lug on the alternator. The one to the alternator goes to the rear terminal.

OK, Thanks. Once I started putting everything back in everything fell into place very easily. End result pictured. Thanks for everyone's help.
