and other fuse types compatible with the 240.

do I smear the dielectric grease on the tip of the fuse or on the copper/brass fuse brackets?

I read somewhere that buss fuses are good since they are stainless steel. I take it these are the glass tube fuses. if anyone has them on their car, is the ampere etched on the metal tip? I see an 8 etched on one of my buss fuses.

I plan to get more color-coded ceramic fuses. does pep boys carry the exact same ones that the 240 uses? ipd says they are "rare."

thank you all! I'm really glad I asked this question. all this time I had some fuse slots with the wrong fuse. I've put in the proper amp ceramic fuses on each fuse slot today after reading the info posted here. each slot has a WHITE, RED, or BLUE ceramic fuse, except one which requires a white 8amp but has the glass buss fuse rated at 8amp instead(I think, based on the number etched on it) because I ran out of 8amp ceramic fuses. tomorrow I plan to clean the copper fuse slot contacts and put some dielectric grease. thanks again!
