What's the ampere rating of the fusible link at the bulhead connector?

I don't know that they were really rated for amperage. They were just a wire gauge (two numbers) smaller than the wire they were supposed to protect. If you had a 12 awg wire you used a 14 awg fusible link.

Four gauge sizes smaller, actually. A 12ga circuit is protected by a 16ga fuselink. See this post for more information.

It should be 4 to 6 wire gauges smaller than the protected circuit.

Here's a link that contains the equivelent fuse sizes and Mopar color codes. (It's near the bottom of the page.)

You're right. I goofed. I knew it was two wire sizes not 2 gauge numbers. :?
