Hi,

If someone struggle with the fuse sizes on a 1965 Dodge Dart because the white paint is gone or whatever, and since the manuals tells to look at the fuse box. The picture in the shop manual shows no sizes for the radio and instrument fuses on the end of the fuse block, but here the sizes are:

Radio fuse is closest to the steering column, Instrument fuse is closest to the drivers door, fuse number 6 and 1 respectively.

Fuse 1. Instrument / LPT = 2 Amp
Fuse 2. Tail / Stop = 20 Amp
Fuse 3. Cigar LTR = 20 Amp
Fuse 4. ACC = 20 Amp
Fuse 5. Heater = 20 Amp
Fuse 6. Radio = 5 Amp

Fuse dimension = 1/4" x 1 1/4", SFE or AGC fuses from what I can understand. SFE and AGC fuses are fast or quick as some define them.

Buss (Bussman) and Littelfuse makes them.

I have searched the forums here, and no tread about fuse sizes. So, I thought maybe someone might wonder and find the info useful, someone outside the US where these fuses can be a little tricky to come by.

Most service manuals have a text list of fuses and bulbs right before the wiring diagrams begin

I used to look this up, take a screenshot, and crop it and display it. I'm done doing that legwork
 
Yes....... That info will be found in the FSM, in elec section, where the elec diagrams start.
Just as 67Dart273 says.

As I have said about myself before, English is not my first language and when both the operator manual and shop manual have some text about the fuses, the shop manual even a picture of the fuse box and then say that the fuse sizes can be found written on the fuse box itself I thought that was it.

In the shop manual where you say it is, it is not found. But, it can be found on page 638 in the manual under Specifications (Bulbs, Fuses and Circuit Breakers). I just found it by accident.

If someone find it improper of me to post this here or contribute in the forum, I will be happy to remove it.

The correct 64-67 fuses should be as follows (according to photo of NOS fuse block for sale at Hiltop:

Instruments 3 amp, radio 7.5 amp, all the rest 20 amp
