LED dashboard lights-what code

I have some lights out on the instrument cluster, and need to change broken speedo cable. So while in there I want to change to LED lamps. Are they T-5 ? if not what type are they.

Cheers Paul.

Re: VZN 130-305 Chevy Project

ok, so we progress toward a start up on the engine stand soon :shock: Have now collected starter, rams horns, fly wheel and clutch, water pump, alternator, air cleaner. Need dizzy and fuel pump.

Need 3L starter motor

The old faithful starter is getting grumpy and despite being pulled apart today and freshened up it is only marginally better. Does anyone have one that they want to part with, or can recommend where to get one.

If there is water, then almost for sure a diesel bug. That will block the new filter.
