    Car battery fuse?

    Sounds like the car battery is the fault if there's no electrics anywhere.  Either the battery itself, or a poor terminal connection or a broken battery cable.

    There isn't a car battery fuse.

    If there are no electrics at all in the car, the problem is either the battery itself, or the cables to it.

    Do you have a multimeter?

    It should be Silver Calcium but they are hard to find now.

    I don't know exactly for this engine but around 60AH and 600CCA should be more than enough.
