Well I have my old car running again but some electrical problems exist. When I examined the fuse block I found massive corrosion and terminals destroyed. I would like to keep it original if I can instead of replacing the fuse block. Is there anywhere I can buy just the fuse clips? I have looked every where on-line with no success so far. Thanks

Check some of those wires coming out of the fuse block, and I think you'll find they're toast, too, as usualy the corrosion will follow inside the wire!
How long 41 yr. old wires last depends a lot on the weather, and anything from bad connections to major fires can happen with bad wiring.
I'm a believer in 'Murphy's Law', and I'd be looking into complete new wiring for the car - the chances aren't worth it!

I concur. I pulled my dash out recently and noticed some wires were bare in spots, and one for the lights was melted. When I got to actually removing the fusebox, every terminal was rusted/corroded. I plan to replace every single wire in my car with new ones/harnesses. Why take a chance. Will be expensive, but am doing a frame-off and will do it over time.

try American Autowire. they make complete replacement harnesses and I also think they have a rebuild service for your harness. their quality has been really good on the stuff I have used.
