When someone (me) painted the dash in my Dart, they got overspray on the fuse block, so I can't really make out what the words are. I can sort of see some, but not all. Is there anyone who knows or can find what the words are supposed to be?

Also, Where is the fuse block supposed to be attached? Mine is just kind of hanging.

Thanks.

On my 64, the fuse block is near the steering column and attached to the lower painted steel panel with a big screw that goes up into the fuse block (the screw taps into the fuse block).

Look for a hole in the steel panel and trial fit some screws into the fuse block until you find one that works

I don't know what kind of paint you used but try running a soft clean rag over fuse block with laquer thinner.Don't scrub it,just go over it quick and light.Make sure the battery is disconnected,don't want no flames an such on the new paint :wink:

Did you find the mounting tab, or do I need to round up a picture for you?

Is it on the bottom of the dash? There's some kind of tab there. It looks like it would bolt right up.

That's it. I can't remember what the screw looks like, but it has to be fairly long.
