The interior wiring harness in my 68 Cuda is in real good shape but the puny 6 fuse fuseblock has rusted terminals. I could probably use a wire brush attachment on a dremel and clean it up but I'd like to add at least 4 more fuses so I'd like to just replace it. Checked at NAPA and they had some universal fuse boxes but seemed real pricey. Has anybody replaced just the fuse box with a larger one that still fits in the acreage available where the stock block sits and if so what did you use? I can solder real good so soldering in one is no problem
 
I didn't remove the stock one. I just added more. It's a 10 gauge feed from the battery through a 30 amp circuit breaker. Half is powered all the time and the other half is powered through the relay with the key on.

I would do that but my original has rusted up terminals where the fuses plug in so it needs replacing. Thanks

Fishy I'd see if there's a "DIY" wrecking yard near you. Surely a newer model car will have a "donor" you can whack out of it. Painless sells one, as do others, but they ain't cheap, either.

How bout this?

Only 1 JY in the area and they are so expensive I might as well buy a new one. Don't know why I didn't think of looking on E-bay. Much better deal there for one. That 26 circuit would give me all I ever needed. Thanks for the tip
