where can I buy 6v 21/3 c.p. bulbs?
trying to find 21/3 c.p. bulbs for our 28 with single bulb headlights I just bought some 1154 6volt 21/3 candle power bulbs but the new bulbs have stagered locating pins. on the original bulbs the pins are in line. all the places I have checked have the 21/21 c.p. bulbs. but nobody seems to carry the original 21/3 c.p. bulbs. any one know what number bulb I need? or where to buy some?

I assume you called Bratton's or Bert's? Neither of them show online and I didn't look in their catalog. Ask for Steve @ Bert's and he will let you know if he has them or where you can find them.

1154 has offset pins and 1158 has straight pins.
Lang's has them https://www.modeltford.com/model-t-p...s/light-bulbs/ Also NAPA. Bob |

Re the 1158, while they are the correct CP and will fit, the filament shape will light your lamp but will not do much to light the road.

Re: where can I buy 6v 21/3 c.p. bulbs?
The original headlamp bulbs on early 1928 was a 21-3 candlepower as the original poster stated (driving beam + parking light beam), and other posters believe to be an error. I have found no source for these bulbs in headlight sized bulbs for quite a few years. The ones that have been mentioned are actually tail light bulbs (brake light & running light) and are smaller in glass surface size than headlamp bulbs. I treasured my old stock of these headlight bulbs, never advertised them, and sold my last pair only 2 or 3 weeks ago. By all means check suppliers who treasure old stock items, but they are very scarce.

Apparently there were "upgrades" available at the time - 1114 (21/21), 1118 (32/21), 1170 (21/6) and 1172 (32/6). Not sure what the differences are, Mr. Google couldn't find any. Edit: just took a closer look - the filaments in those bulbs are at right angles to the contacts. I think they only fit Model T. May not focus properly in Model A.
