Re: 67 color coded fuses

Ron - 4A fuse is pink (sometimes faded to almost white). If it's a Buss fuse the amperage is stamped on the side of one of the end caps, so you can check it. BTW, I thought the purple was a 3A. Pete

Re: 67 color coded fuses

Guys,

Here is a pic of two original BUSS fuses. I guess it may be a matter of what you call "pink" versus "purple".

1. The top fuse in the pic has "BUSS ACC 4" on it. Looks more pink of the two to me.

2. The bottom fuse in the pic has "250 VOLT" on one end and "BUSS ACC 3" on the other. It certainly could be called pink and the color varies as you spin the fuse from purple to pink to white. Of the two though, it looks more "purple".

Re: 67 color coded fuses

Robert - Thanks for the listing. My experience at least with 67 Corvettes is that the color-coded glass fuses used were 1.25" long and that the 4A, 10A, 20A, 25A and 30A fuses were the ones used. It's interesting that your list shows a 20A yellow fuse and I have seen some BUSS 20A yellow color-coded fuses but they are 1" long and are stamped AGX. I do not know the application. What I found in the 67 Chevrolet & Corvette fuse panels are either the 1.25" long BUSS or Littelfuse 20A SFE fuses with no color band. In addition, again based on my experience is that the 30A fuse installed/used in the fuse panel on C60 Corvettes at least on early 67 C60 Corvettes did not have the lt. green color-coding band. Pete

Re: 67 color coded fuses

According to the prints, the 4A is Pink, 3A Violet, 7.5 Amp Brown, 10A Red, 15A light Blue, 25 Amp White, and 30A Lt Green.For 5/8 fuse lengths, the color may be a dot (optional) in place of the stripe.
