I'm going to be reinstalling my dash and all the gauges this weekend.  While 
I'm at it, I want to replace all the bulbs 
for the gauges (since who knows when they were last replaced).  I already  
replaced the bulbs for the oil pressure 
gauge, fuel gauge, etc. a few months ago, so all I need to replace are bulbs 
for the speedometer and tach (and I guess 
while I'm at it, I'll replace the courtesy lights too).  As much as I hate it, 
the car is still in its winter storage, 
so I don't have her handy to look at.  So here is my question.  Are the bulbs 
for the speedometer and tach the same as 
the ones used for the gauges?  If so, then I can use some of the left over #42 
bulbs I purchased at Radio Shack.  If 
not, does anyone know of the correct part number for bulbs at Radio Shack, 
NAPA, etc.?  I'd kind of like to avoid 
having to order bulbs and instead just pick them up around town.  

And you know, while I'm at it, I've never checked, but are the bulbs for the 
turn signals readily available at auto 
parts stores, or are they something that has to be ordered?  

Thanks.
