Is there a replacement fuse block box available for a '60 ?
I see this one:

I removed all the fuses to clean the rust a small piece of the plastic housing broke off the block.
It's likely still functional but I'm just curious.
Also having difficulty removing the pink & red connector for the Ignition connection. Is there special magic to wiggling this OUT?
Thanks!
Those connectors were a bear in mine. I used some Workshop Hero gel and it finally came loose. I wouldn't use anything with oil, for obvious reasons. A complete rewire is going to happen, at that point I'll probably use a fresh fuse box of some sort.
I ended up removing all the old fuses and cleaning as much as I could with a Dremel and a LIGHT attachment. Next, I put some di-electric grease on the fuse clips and put new clips in.
ONE question I do have:
Is the IGNITION connector (pink/red) supposed to come out? I tried & tried to wiggle it out and it will not budge.

That is a lot of work!
It looks like a plug in to me, but the metal
contacts have probably rusted together.
