Would replacing an 6.3A SLO BLO fuse with an 8 SLO BLO fuse be ok? Thanks for any information.

If the component was designed to be used with a 6.3A slo-blo, then that is the correct fuse to use for replacement. Usually, the correct fuse size is noted on the back of the chassis. You do not want to substitute a fuse that will only blow at a higher value than specified.
