Fuse Block

I am having a bit of a problem. I believe it can be traced to the 25 yr old 
fuse block. My fuses are melting, not blowing. Worst part is, the one I am 
having problems with is the fuse that handles the brake lights, wipers, and 
dash gauges. I just replaced the main wiring harness and now I am having an 
"issue". As I said, the fuses are melting, not blowing, I can get a 
positive connection to the hot side of the fuse block, but an intermittent 
connection to the rest of the wiring. This is all concerned around the 
third from the bottom fuse in the 4 fuse block. I am thinking I need a new 
fuse block, but I am also wondering about the Moss replacement. I know 
Allen H put a more modern fuse panel in his car, but I would rather stick 
with the 4 fuse style. I have had the block out and cleaned it using baking 
soda and a wire brush, as much as is possible. I think that it is getting 
too hot due to a bad connection between the spade and the rivet.

So now comes the question, What are folks experiences with replacement fuse 
blocks?? Moss has them for $28 bucks. Thinking on going with that, just to 
get one.

What sayeth the list??
