The car came factory properly fused, so long as nobody has altered the actual wiring from it's origional form, it shouldn't hurt. The question is, why were they put there to begin with?...was it melting wires or were they just trying to isolate a problem? Of the heavy wires, one should be for the charge going back to the battery, and the other I believe is the main feed to the ignition switch. The battery drain could also be bad diodes inside your alternator.

FYI I too have an 82.

Thanks, D
