Question electrical problem

Can anybody give me some insight on why my fusable link from the starter relay to the fuse box fried on my 74 roadrunner? It started fine when I left for vacation, a week later when I came home I turned the key and the wire started smoking. I changed the link, made sure all my grounds were good, and tried a different relay all with the same results. any ideas would greatly be appreciated.
Jim

A good mod to perform:

Bypasses the old crusty bulkhead connector.

Are you still running the factory ammeter? If so I would look at bypassing it. After years of use they can become problematic and cause a number of different problems.
