The best thing you can do for your electrical system is to change all the fuses with new ones and take a brush and clean off the contacts. Make sure you have a good seal on the fuse box cover as well.

These old-style fuses are just not very reliable after years of use. I saved my old ones for spares and put them in a baggie in the trunk.

Save yourself some grief down the road and put in all new fuses.
