There are 7 Fuse links:
Fuse link F-18 gauge Green goes to ignition switch.
Fuse link A-12 gauge Blue goes to Bat terminal on alternator.
Fuse Link H-18 gauge Green goes to fusebox after changing wire color to Red for headlights and power locks.
Fuse link J-18 gauge Green goes to fusebox also for hazards/domes etc.
Fuse link G-20 gauge Orange goes fuel pump relay, the TCU and the ECU.
Fuse link X-20 gauge Orange goes to B+ latch relay.
Fuse link Q-18 gauge Green goes to fan control relay.

Hmm ok... so what i understand... for the green , blue, red, and even black have a fuse amount and the size wire i should use for it using the other picture. But the orange shows only wire size, i believe i have 2 wires that are orange. Should i use the same Fuse like the black? since the wires are the same GA?

Batman I hope you are not thinking of replacing your Fusible Links with regular wire. Others have tried that and if a short occurs the smokes appeared and they now have to replace a bunch of wiring because there idea didn’t melt and protect the shorted wiring harness.
Fusible Links are just another type of fuse; they are nothing more than a normal slow blow fuse except they look like normal wiring. Slow blow fuses are fuse that are designed to except a monetary load over the amperage rating before they burn out.
Where a normal fuse will blow the moment the circuit is protecting amperage draw exceeds the rating of the fuse.

So your saying i should not redo the wiring and put a fuse block for ATO fuses to replace the fusible links that are connecting to the starter motor relay?
I figured since im replacing the relay, i can clean the area and connections.

It's not a good idea from what I read yesterday hunting for fusible link ratings.

No, he's not.
He's considering replacing the fusible links with fuses. There is nothing wrong with that at all, if you know the correct amperage to use.
If you know what you are doing it's a nice upgrade. Fusible links are old school. Factories use them because they are cheaper. Fuses are better.

Batman what is the chances that you provide some phots of the carnage to your fuse links.
It’s very hard to offer advice without seeing the extent of the problem.

Sorry freegdr, my wife had her parents from Germany here for 2 weeks so i had to use my time elsewhere... i figured since im replacing the starter motor relay i replace some of these old A$$ wires, plus one looks a little burned...
If i am correct in the third picture the wire that goes from green to either orange/red ( not sure on color) looks a little burned. And in the fourth picture you can see the orange cable leading into the relay looks a little crisp, i do not remember at this time if its at the connected or just leading somewhere.

I also purchased the fuel pump assy. from napa with the replacement lock ring and o-ring. So i just need to dedicate some time there
