This is from my Ford repair manual. I know it's for the 95 351 but perhaps it will give you an idea for where to look, I can't imagine that systems like this have changed too much over the years... Power distribution diagram:

A fusible link is much like a regular blade fuse, but generally with a larger load capacity. Just inspect the element inside to see if it has burned through and broken the connection (like a blade fuse).

Lol, to be honest I based that observation off of the fusible link that I installed in my truck when I did my electric fan mod. Looked pretty much like this:
Goes inline on a hot wire and burns up the element inside the plastic canister if you overload the circuit... Seems an awful lot like a generic fuse if you ask me
