I do not like the new fuse packaging. I like the old fashioned little
boxes.
Those little slide-open boxes? That's why I never throw any of them away,
though some of the ones I have are labeled with slightly different values
than what came in them orignally. :-)

Good brand. 318?
No clue, it's runs and has 8 cylinders. :^) I have a shade-tree
mechanic that worries about the details. :^) Older
than my '78 Dodge? :-) Those are likely to be 32V automotive
fuses, and not the 250V variety, though I doubt that'll make much
difference.
Yes, it's a '72 Dodge. Since it's for a 9V power line, like you say 32V
vs. 250V probably
won't matter much.
Nope.
But I think I'll try Rat Shack first. If
I'd been thinking I probably
could have raided my PDP-11 for a fuse last night.
The auto parts store probably won't have much in the smaller sizes anyhow.
