VCCA Home Forums TECHNICAL - GENERAL Electrical - 6 volt Links to bulb information

I looked up some bulb info for a recent post on VCCA Chat. Thought that I would share links to a number of sources that you may find useful. You have probably seen most of them. Hope a few are new to you.


+++ DON'S BULBS: +++
> Dons Bulbs - #51 AC Delco bulb specs
donsbulbs.com is a great source of information about bulbs. This page is an example of the search page. It shows information about 6v #51 AC Delco bulbs. Enter the bulb number, then choose "AC/Delco" for the brand. Scroll down and look on the right side for applications by GM brand. Equivalent 6v or 12v bulbs are shown. Specs for some bulbs also include candlepower / lumens. Enter a similar bulb that has a different number to see the differences.

I bought bulbs for my '37 from Bulb Town in Jacksonville, Florida.

I was looking for higher candle power bulbs that were the same size as the standard bulbs. I will admit that it took some searching but I found them.
