Take your pick.
It took me 30 seconds tops using Google to find these 5 companies.

Thank you.
But what`s this...

....started out helpful enough but then we get to the gratuitous
attitude. Oh gee now we have a google elitist bragging on an ability
to paste 4 digits into a window and click the search button. Well
those mass marketed 2182 solder-in bulbs you`re so keen on are not the
bayonet style 2182s GM or Delco used that I need. I guess the driving
need to cop a `tude and brag on your googling talents blinded you to
stopping and considering the application.

Subject: early C3: have entire dash/heater box out - what else to do while in there?

________________________________________________
`71 - what else should I look at, check or do while I have the dash
completely gutted?
Pulled dash/console to replace stereo, speakers, ammeter, tach-needle.
and tach/speedo cables. Then I remembered the heater was bypassed
years ago by a previous owner - so took out the heater box under
assumption it was ancient and likely leaked. (not as easy w/ an AC car
and now I see why).
So what else...?
Is it worth having the tach/speedo re-calibrated? AFAIK they were
accurate years ago but both cables gave and one needle and it`s been
stored for quite a while - they are out now and there is a guy locally
that calibrates the magnets. Worth it or leave well enough alone?
It`s an air car - should I get into replacing all the `seals` on the
Rube Goldberg AC flap design system.
What about those speaker `baffles` sold by Crutchfield etc - do they
help clean up bass response on speakers mounted in dash?
Any other GM cars (e.g. a junkyard) have same radio knobs as `69-71
Corvettes? I lost ONE(1) of my orig Tone/Balance inner knobs dangit!
And right now I`m too cheap/poor to spend $20 some bucks on a full set
of knobs to replace a single one.
