 One thing I did on a whim....one by one, remove the old fuse.  Gently use steel wool to enhance connectivity on both end of fuse and also metal contacts.  And then, add a very thin wipe of Vaseline onto both.  Corrosion protection.  Fuses slid in nicely.  I did this about 5 years ago.  I am glad I did it. Of course, disconnect Negative terminal on Battery before doing this job.

 Hi folks,


If you were to replace the fuses in a 84 would you use never used vintage fuses or new ones?


Do they crumble just from being older or from being in use?


I have both new old ones and new new ones available.
