69 clock bulb

[69z28302]

I just got my clock back from being repaired. Went to put it in and the bulb socket wont fit. I have the blade type bulb in it that is oblong and it seems to bottom out. What bulb does it take? Rick's shows a console bulb but mine has a connector with the "push in" not twist bulb. 

Thanks CRG

Looks like a 168 bulb


For reference to other vehicles.

That looks like what I have now. The socket just wont fit in the clock though. It's like it's too long



Thanks

The AIM indicates part# 9425542 {bulb}...you must also have the correct Wire Assembly/Socket; part# 6297523 {note; the adjustment knob is a part of the wire ASM}

I'll check it again tomorrow.

Here's the AIM sheet...

Looks like the clock base itself has been hot and is slight concave in it. I"ll have to figure out something to make the socket stay in the housing
