I have a small collection of various looms at work.  The later model
ones (Toyota I believe) have a three fuse fuse-box with an 80-100 amp
main fuse which I suppose goes to the alternator and general power
rails, and a couple of 30-40 amp fuses.  One of these may power the
high current loads such as the injectors.  Since they can be unbolted
from the original loom and mounted directly onto the battery terminal
clamps easily, I find them quite usefule for efi conversions 

Older cars had fusable links.
