GM cars of your era had a fusible link on the big wire right at the starter. It was connected to the heavy wire and then had an eyelet to attach to the starter.

I am not really sure how many amps it will need to hold.

Newer cars use fuses, as Partrick notes. Most newer models use maxi fuses. If I remember correctly, the starter on a 2000 Silverado was protected with a 40 amp maxi fuse. I actually had to replace it in that truck.
