Just use the PROPER crimper, and quality terminals, you will be fine.

For a quick overview, watch this Holley vid:

I made all my own harnesses for the recent car, and have done many custom jobs for friends. I crimp everything, never had a problem. And yes, I have experience, training was in aircraft, and that's one industry you can't afford electrical gremlins.

The most common terminals are the Packard 56 series, search it, they are inexpensive and readily available.

Bummer is if there's actual damage to the fuse block itself. If that's a problem, your only option is to find a donor, unless of course you are OK with going to an aftermarket full harness.

The fuse blocks are available to my knowledge, but they usually have a minimum order of 1000 or more.

The aftermarket 'update' ones come with ATO blade fuses and are much better, but again, you have to terminate many of the wires, and shorten some if you want it to look 'good'.

If the car is a keeper, and you want to drive the tires off of it, a fresh harness is a wise investment.

Thank you for the video,

I dont think thats what the terminal in my case is though. Im open to being incorrect on this, but I think its a single terminal that operates as a fuse holder on one side and that packard terminal looking deal on the back.

I think its one of these, which are labeled as for Ford, but it seems the same. Im just not sure if the method of install is the same. I dont want to break my fuse block, so I really want to see someone safely remove one. Other than that Im sure I could handle it.
