I was under the dash of my '79 Cordoba a while back and noticed my fuse block has the blade style fuses as opposed to the older glass type. I'm just curious if Chrysler ever used a blade type fuses on the last these style of the Formal C Bodies on the '78 models or did they use the glass type fuse? My apologies for this question but, it sparked my interest and was just curious.
 
I owned a '79 Cordoba; don't remember what type of fuses it had.

However, do you know that the Cordoba was a B Body, not a C? (Or, are you simply segwaying onto the C because of this car?)
 
No, I was just curious since the C-Body was a step up from the B-Body Cordoba.
 
I wanted to visit this question again. From the sources I can find it looks like the glass type fuses were used up until the last formals.

My Cordoba uses these types of fuses and not sure about the 78 models...

Yep, 1978 Formal's had glass fuses. However, 1978 Formal's had a "New Designed" fuse box that folded down to make it easier for the tech's to work on. And a new designed bulkhead connector. All of this was 1978 only.
 
Same thing.... but new and improved. I'm in Wisconsin this week so I don't have access to my data book. I think that page is also on the Hamtramck page.
 
There is a picture of the bulkhead and wires on that page and a couple of sentences on how great the advantages are.
 
Thank you all I wasn't sure but, I'd figure I'd ask. I do know that Chrysler in '79 did update the system on the B-Bodies or may have updated the system again in '79 and not sure about '78 though.
 
My 78 Doba's all had glass fuses. The 79 had blade fuses IIRC

Thank you, that's what I was thinking as well. Not that having glasses fuses are necessarily a bad thing but, the style fuse setup is a little better. The reason why I dug up this thread is because if I have a trade offer for a later C-Body.
