Not wanting to engage in this debate because its over my head.

But, I can add:

I was moving a receptacle.

moving meaing you installed it in a new location. So it was a new
receptacle?




The wiring in the fuse box is "split" on two 15amp fuses red on left fuse,
black on the right.

Doesn't doing this require that both circuits be protected by the same
circuit breaker, i.e. a double-pole breaker? It soounds like the OP
had separate OCPDs on the two legs of the multiwire duplex receptacle.

In new installations all of the devices on a yoke or strap must be
deenergized by a single switch, breaker, or pull out but that
requirement is relatively recent. There is no requirement to alter
existing circuits when the code changes.

OK, but I believe the OP was moving a split-circuit receptacle. I
would assume that this requires meeting the new code requirements.
