Unless someone added one later, the 65 doesn't have a fusible
link. I'm not sure if 67-68 has it, but sure that 69 does. The one on my 69
fried last year.

Hi Timothy,
I think I've got to go with Pete as to
the fusible link. If you touched the wrong cable enough to get sparks,
even for a moment, the link could have sacrificed its self to save the
rest of the system - which is exactly what it's there for. I may be
wrong, but that is the first place I'd look.
Once again, good
luck!

Where I lucked out on that was that there were sparks when I began to
hook up the first end of the jumper cable. I knew something was wrong
immediately, as the Volvo was running at the time, so I knew to hook it up
to the other post.

The same thing happened to me on my parents '60 one night in 1970 when
I was using it. Someone at a Drive In Movie Theatre tried to help me by
jumping it, and hooked them up wrong because the negative cable was
red. The battery blew up, but luckily it didn't harm the
paint.

Hi
Tim,
Back when I was using my '60 as a daily driver I friend of
mine needed
a jump. He hooked the cables up wrong and my battery
blew up! There
were pieces of battery all over the place. The
paint on the passenger
front fender still has some minor acid
burns.
