HELP!!!! Blew fuseable, but i cant tell which one! No Start

Dang, went to start my truck, turned over real fast for a second then a white plume of smoke came from the fuseable link area, and now no start. Nothing turns over, the radio does not come on, nothing. I happened to have my hood open cause I turned my fuel screw 1/2 turn more. Thing is, none of the links are severed/obviously burned. Any clue which one may be the culprit? Please help!!!

That is the problem with those things. Mine did that and I ended up replacing them with fuse holders in the end. You could also just cut the junction block out of there and use some kind of connector and tape to replace it.

Do a search for a thread called Fusible Link Abatement for my FL story. There are lots of other threads on here about it as well. Mine is really not as neat and tidy as I eventually want to have it, but it is working fine now.
