Fuse Block
The Fuse block on my old bug (66 F100 390/C6)is shot. I will replace it and would appreciate hearing your recommendations. I am considering a 12 circuit block with relays and the newer blade type fuses. JEGs wants about 90 bucks for this deal and I think that is high? I don't want to use a completely new wiring system like Painless because I have already made up new wiring harnesses for the engine and rear lights. I like my work and prefer to make m own harnesses using weather pac connectors. William in Atlanta

William;
You could try the the junk yard but I have never seen anything but more trouble with someone else's wiring fixes. Try one of the hot-rodding magazines; usually there are several places with wiring deals advertised and their separate fuse boxes are on their web site. Try Doc's House of Bolts, they have good prices on their wiring sets so maybe the box will also be similiarly priced. But they aren't cheap; to me, the spade fuses are alot easier to work with than the old style when it comes to tracking down a problem. $90 (gulp) is probably money well spent in the long run.

Could be good news, my dated catalog says $30 for a 12 circuit box, try docsbolts.com to see what they have on line. You may need to use their toll free line to order.
