con-fuse-d about fuses

I need one 7.5A blade type fuse but not seeing that size on eeebay. I can get (10) 7.5A fuses for about 10 bucks with free shipping and 110 additional fuses thrown in for FREE. Which is less than I would expect to pay for gas, tax, and a toll at the parts store. it's a strange strange strange world . . .

I ordered a half-dozen crush ring gaskets for the fuel rail banjo bolts, but they appear to be copper, and as an old salty sailor i am not liking the idea of adding a copper gasket to the aluminum fuel rails. because copper does not play nice with aluminum in a salt air environment. which is why, i think, that there are aluminum gaskets for that exact reason. but i couldn't find any tonight. well, i retract that. there was one for sale from a genuine toy dealer for 8$ and change and tax. EACH... which is why i ordered the copper ones.

anyone been there and done it?

i am still emptying the "stuff" out of my garage so i can get my truck inside and start replacing old thingys with new thingys.

oh yeah, i am not finding the little gauge cluster i'd like to add, with a trans-temp gauge, an oil pressure gauge, and a battery monitor volt gauge. the really big and gaudy and multicolored ones have some very informed purchasers with very explicit tales to tell. i'm kinda crossing them off the list. on the other hand the 12v digital readouts displaying K type thermocouple data are inexpensive and accurate, it seems, so I could hook thermocouples on both sides of the transmission oil lines and get the differential temperature. same thing for inside - outside air temperature. and an air temp readout to track the AC health and happiness.

see where this is going . . ? someone must have already solved all of this. i hope.

thanks for listening and good night
