The red wire in question is smaller than 10 awg. How much smaller depends on the year. 14 awg will do it for all years. It isn't the alternator wire(s) to the stud that gets the fuse. It is the wire from the stud into the engine relay box feed harness.

Best to get a holder with 10 ga pigtails and use appropriate butt connectors. Be sure to carry a spare fuse taped inside the box cover for when it won't start! > > Stuart >
