 My JH came with the original fusebox bypassed and replaced with a junkyard unit from a modern car.  Of course, the connections that PO had made were the source of a bunch of faults, so I replaced it all again with a couple of six-fuse units I got from an online wiring source out of Reno.  I discovered I don't have any pictures of these fuse boxes up at the JHPPG.  IMHO, replacing the fuse box with a modern unit is the first, best upgrade anyone can make to a LBC.  It's suprising how many of the Lucas gremlins are actually created by having all of the current go through three fuses.

I used pn AF-GFB6 from wiringproducts.com.  I bought two, one for the battery-powered circuits and one for the circuits powered through the ignition.  I believe that those are the fat brown wire and the fat white wire that go into the original fuse box.  Of course I have no affiliation with this company; I'm just a satisfied customer.

Painless offers some good options if you don't want to work so much from sratch.  Similarly with Ron Francis and several other hot rod and street rod wiring companies.

If it isn't a Jensen, it's just another car...
