Fuse box
Me again-
I fixed the horn, replaced the fuses and I thought everything was working fine. It is---sometimes. It appears that the metal contacts within the fuse box on my 78 are loose. The fuses snap in and are tight but the metal ends seem to have some play in them within the plastic box causing the radio,courtesy and blinkers to work intermittently. When I gently press on the fuses everything works accordingly. My question, is there a way to tighten this panel, has anyone experienced this problem themselves? Thanks again for all your help, I'm slowly getting there!

"Bubba" would use duct tape. With 'loose' stuff in a fuse block, it would be much better to pull a battery cable off, remove the assembly bolt on the fuse block and find out what is wrong with it. 'Loose' power feed connections is a b-a-a-d-d-d thing.
