I could be wrong, but i want to say that fuse is a "fusible link". It's the first one to blow if you say accidentally hookup your battery backwards. So my guess is it goes to something like the alternator or battery.

Did yours break or something? I think I've heard of people trying to pull them out and they disintegrate

Pictures so we see what you have in front of you?
80-Amp fuse is aka "Fusible Link".

One white wire connects it to fusible link WIRE. This is that one:

On the other side, the THICK one is "B" wire. Connects to alternator output. There might be another one on that second side that connects to 40-amp fuse in fuse block. The 40-Ap fuse provides power to one of the terminals of the IGN switch.
