1993 Festiva fusible link rating

[blckmynnse8]

I need to replace the main fusible link which is black in color on my car. The picture of the fusible link block in my Haynes manual shows red instead of black. In the diagram I see that it says 25A or 35A. I tried doing a search for confirmation of the value but was not able to find anything.

So my question is should I replace it with a 35A cartridge fuse? Due to the nature of the fusible link should I look for a slow acting fuse?

Thanks!

Thanks for the help! Got rid of the temporary alligator clip jumper and popped a 40A fuse in, good to go.
