Paul,It was either a 2 or 3 amp. fuse .Either one will work OK but I will check for sure and get back with correct amp.>>>>>>>>>>>>Just checked the shop manual...no info. there.Will look for my '55 owners manual next.My memory says 3 amp. but that was only 40 years ago when these were around as drivers.

After digging deeper into my memory the reason that it isn't in the manuals is because the original '55 switch did not have a fuse but the replacement GM Delco switch had one.I remember needing to give out a fuse with a new light switch if it was going to be used in a '55.If I remember correctly the '56 had a fuse from the factory and I don't have a '56 manual to verify that.

Thanks guys I thought it was about 3 amp. But the fact that there is not one at all on this car I was concerned there may be a problem here so I wanted to be sure. pAUl
