Additional Notes

The Plymouth Fury I license plate bulb specifications span model years 1968-1974, covering three distinct bulb types across that period.
The bulb 67 is an ANSI-standard single-filament type with a BA15s bayonet base, rated at 12V and 8W, and represents a lower wattage variant of the 1156 bulb family.
Bulb 67 was the specified fitment for the Plymouth Fury I across the 1968-1970 model years.
The bulb 97 shares the same BA15s bayonet base and 12V operating voltage as the 67, but draws significantly more power at 13W, making the two electrically incompatible as direct substitutes despite their physical similarity.
Bulb 97 was the specified fitment for the 1971-1973 model years, representing a shift to a higher-wattage output for the license plate position.
The BA15s bayonet base found on both the 67 and 97 bulbs features a single contact pin, which is the defining characteristic distinguishing it from the dual-pin BA15d base used in other automotive applications.
The 1974 Plymouth Fury I uses the 168, a T10 miniature wedge bulb rated at 12V and 4.9W, which represents a fundamentally different base type from the bayonet-mount bulbs used in prior model years.
Because the 168 uses a wedge base rather than a bayonet mount, it is not physically interchangeable with the 97 or 67 bulbs specified for earlier Fury I model years.
The T10 designation of the 168 bulb refers to a tubular glass envelope roughly 10 eighths of an inch wide, a standard sizing convention in the ANSI miniature bulb classification system.
All three bulb types listed in these specifications conform to ANSI standards recognized in both the United States and Canada.
