Additional Notes

The Ford Torino uses the 1156 bulb for its back up light across the 1968-1976 model years.
The 1156 is an ANSI-standardized bulb type, meaning its specifications are governed by a recognized North American standard applicable in both the United States and Canada.
The 1156 operates on a 12-volt electrical system and draws 21 watts, which is consistent with standard automotive incandescent lighting of that era.
The 1156 is a single-filament bulb, meaning it serves one lighting function only, which in this application is the back up light.
The bulb uses a BA15s bayonet base, a single-contact bayonet mount that locks into the socket with a twist and is not interchangeable with dual-contact bayonet bases such as the BA15d.
