Default fusible link

i have a 1988 dodge d150 with a 5.2. Does anybody know what the rating is on the fusible links, or if there is more than one type? Thanks.

They are color coded to their size.
12g-black
14g-red
16g-dark blue
18g-gray
20g-orange
Should be replaced with fusible wire with hypalon insulation.
Should find out why it blew.

They can be but it is not as good because they will blow to quickly with a minor problem where a fusable link will allow some variation in the current without blowing prematurely.
