Thanks for the input guys. I hit a Fresno wrecking yard and two of the Tempests had very good fuse boxes, I bought one and shipped it off. At least now I know where I can get more parts nearby if needed. I also know now that they are exclusive to my two 63's. Thanks again.

I'm up against the same thing as most of mine are pretty brittle, I have to wonder why these companies that make wiring harnesses just don't use a new universal fuse box, I am sure there has to be something out there that would work.

It isn't like there isn't enough room under the dash, and unlike later model cars it isn't a two piece firewall item, just seems odd to me, I would much rather have a new box that would also have a couple of more slots available.

As an M&H customer several times over, I was replacing the thrashed out, cut up factory wiring and wanted a stock replacement.

I suspect that there hundreds of different designs out there (subtle, yes, but different none the less) and carrying molds if not inventory on all of these seems like a mess to manage.

Even though the OEM fuse panel is simple, I would struggle if I were the man responsible for creating a one-size-fits-all F.P.

I'm a little ignorant here, but there are generic auto fuse boxes out there - just search Google for "classic car fuse box" and there are multiple examples that use modern fuses. If you're not doing a show-room stock restoration, and you're getting a new harness anyway, why not switch?

After market fuse blocks are all over the place at most car related swap meets. I bought one of those 8 1/2x11 laminated schematics on ebay for a 63 and I really like it. Everything is color coded and I have yet to find an error on it! John
