DanielC Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 I did get a Painless 70107 fuse block kit from Summit, and I did not like it, and returned it. I like the way it was wired, but to use it would require putting a lot of extra connections, it was just too tall, and bulky, and just did not look "elegant". I want to stay close to stock, but I like the idea of adding a relay for some of the ignition switched accessories. This will take the electrical load of the heater, wipers, turn signals, and reverse lights out of the ignition switch. Because I need a fuse box for some of my other 521 trucks, I am doing some running around looking as fuse boxes at different auto parts stores. and even a few marine supply stores. This is a fuse box I put into Dragon sometime in the 1970's or 1980's. I would like to go to a more modern blade type fuse block, but so far, the best fuse block I have found is a glass tube fuse block. Some Datsun 521 trucks have three always hot fuses, other 521 trucks have four always hot fuses. The big difference is the four always hot fuse boxes have a separate fuse for headlights, and the running, side marker, and tail lights. 1 Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 I have some Blue Sea Systems fuse boxes. They are the best ones I've found. All the other aftermarket boxes I've seen seemed really crappy, and I never like how they look or how the terminals are setup, and I hate glass fuses for a variety of reasons. 1 Quote Link to comment
uberkevin Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 I too would like a newer type fuse block. Or some how make the newer block fit in this old style.. 1 Quote Link to comment

This is a Blue Sea Systems Fuse block I posted in a Write up. It is easily configured to either style of 521 fuse box with the Little Jumpers if needed. $41.05 shipped to denmarkboy. If I had the funds I would order it for you guys. http://shop.pkys.com/Blue-Sea-5035-ST-Blade-Fuse-Block-for-6-Independent-Circuits_p_1621.html http://shop.pkys.com/Blue-Sea-9217-Terminal-Jumper-2500-Series_p_1778.html 3 Quote Link to comment
