Number of 1816 bulbs per car for 1966

[Gary B.]

Speedometer, qty=2
Tachometer, qty=2
L & R directional signal, qty=2
Oil Pressure gage, qty=1
Amp gage, qty=1
Fuel gage, qty=1
Water Temp gage, qty=1


For the dash cluster, my total is 10, not 11. What am I missing?


Thanks,


Gary

Another guess, high beam indicator.

Harry,

Strike two. The high beam indicator is also a 1445. The 3rd of three 1445 bulbs per car.

Harry,

Your image provides the answer. In the lower image, there are five locations labeled PL on the panel that covers the upper center of the cluster, including the speedo and tach. My mistake was thinking that the speedo and tach each had two dedicated bulbs. But it appears there are a total of five bulbs illuminating the speedo and tach, with one bulb positioned dead center between them.

Thanks,

Gary

AIM shows 11 for the cluster plus 2 for the clock.

Item 21 Pt#454626, 9 A's, 1 B, 1 C, + 2 D's (Clock) =13 1816's.

Mike,

According to my notes, the heater control bulb is an 1893 bulb (GM 9416927) shown on a different AIM page.

This was an online image I saved from a 1965 dash... perhaps a little easier to see & understand:
