The Fusible Link is a special wire that feeds the main wiring harness, the Fuse Box and the Alternator output "A" terminal. If it blows out, all power will be dead even if the battery is fully charged. This wire has fireproof insulation and is designed to act as a special fuse device to protect all the wiring harnesses.

Overview
The Fusible Link ("Main Fuse") connects to the POS battery terminal about six inches from the battery. The fusible link is a special length of wiring that will melt if its rating is exceeded and is there to stop the electrics if the car is drawing too much power, like an open short circuit. It has a special non-flammable coating, and is typically 4 wire sizes smaller than the main feed wire.
WARNING: Do not replace fusible link with a solid wire, or a regular fuse -- you risk burning up the entire wiring system when a short occurs. The Fusible Link protects against short circuits ... see Wiring#Main Wiring
The white wire here has been cut from the Positive battery cable:
Both green wires are the same. Top: New, Bottom: old and faded
Datsun Fusible Links are color coding (e.g. W, G, R or B). When a replacment is necessary, the color codes must be matched even in an emergency.
This type of circuit protector never produces flame, but but produce considerable heat when it blows. To prevent potential hazard, never bring it into contact with fuel or heater hoses.
Fusible links often show no visible signs of having blown, but can be detected safely by touch.

Discussion: will this Fusible link suit ?
FMX Modern Replacement
JCASE fuses are designed to be used as replacement fuses for fusible links. FMX fuses are the female standard cartridges that provide both increased time delay and low voltage drop protection.
JCASE uses 6mm blade terminals (1/4" blade will fit) FMX-RP 27mm tall regular profile FMX-LP 16mm tall low profile
