Electrical: Stop light fuse

[ken-renda]

'63 Avanti manual calls for SAE 6 fuse for stop light. It's a short, stubby, fuse that NAPA does not offer except for a Mercedes but it's 12 amp. What is current stop light fuse for 63 Avanti? Ken, Deltaville Va

Thanks, I'll try Monday at Napa, in the meantime, does anyone know if SAE is same as SFE? I know nothing about fuse nomenclature. Ken, Deltaville, Va

They are the same.

That does seem a bit odd since all Larks and Hawks call for a 14 AMP Fuse.
Avantis probably do not run the Dome Lights from that fuse?
