They work.
Yep, for spade connectors.

I'm the same. Normally I don't like to piggy back on fuses, I'd rather splice into a wire and add another tail. But I have done this also.
nononononononononoooooooooo, don't EVER use scotchloks in automotive wiring, hell, I'd go so far as to say don't ever use them anywhere, period. 3M will use the fancy sounding "insulation displacement connector" because it's a euphemism for "cutting through the sheath that's supposed to protect the wire and cutting the wire inside too."
I thought the OP wanted to add a single light bulb for a gauge like water temp- oil. Not a high power radio and a few amps. Neon lights under car. And a few other things. Common sense add on not stupidity comes into play here.
Agreed, but it needed to be said for the kiddos that do want to add all the gizmos and gadgets that they sell at the Vatozone.
That is exactly what Dibbons asked for. That is why I suggested looking for a connector in the dash illumination circuit. There's often one or more open for options such as consoles, gear selector light in the column for a floor shifted car, etc. Otherwise yes one can branch from that circuit at the fuse on the side with the orange wire. Lets see if that side is open for a piggyback
Yes there should be some unused one's. The factory had add ons that just plugged in. They were tossing these cars together fast going down the line.That is exactly what Dibbons asked for.

edit. It looks like on '67 up no because the wire is crimped to the fuse holder, on '66 down, probably yes.
