'preciate the link Dave but can you help me decipher them lol
if you're looking at the fuse panel from the front, i knocked out 4 starting 3rd from the left... there were like 1 white fuse and 3 blue fuses that popped out and i dont know the correct amperage for each slot...

My car has had white ones in all the holders and never had a problem. Hmmm, should I be concerned?

hey dave, i just noticed that the diagram for the early fuseblock on pelican is incorrect!

the correct fuse block description for early cars ('70 - '73) should be:

1 - 8A - High Beam Left
2 - 8A - High Beam Right
3 - 8A - Low Beam Left
4 - 8A - Low Beam Right
5 - 8A - Park Light Left
6 - 8A - Park Light Right
7 - 8A - License Plate Lights
8 - 25A - Brakelights, Blinker, Backup Light, Windshield Wiper, Cigarette Lighter
9 - 8A - Fresh Air Blower, Horn
10 - 8A - Fog Lights (optional)
11 - 8A - Interior Light, Emergency Flashers, Buzzer
12 - 25A - Motor for retracting Headlights

thanks andy so much

im assuming in your list, 12 would be the far left if looking at it from the driver's seat?

i actually had one "25" labeled fuse fall out and the rest said 8 so it would make sense the way you labeled it.

Thanks!

if i'm not mistaken, 1 is closest to the door and 12 is towards the center of the car ...
