Default One more stupid question

Im wanting to replacing all the bulbs in my1980 dash while I have the whole interior ripped out( except for dashpad). My question is are the bulbs for the speedo and tach the same as the guage clusters bulbs(clock,voltmeter,etc...) The guage cluster is out and those bulbs are GE 168.

Speedo and tach illumination? Probably the same as the center cluster illumination. Tell-tales might have different bulbs. All of them should be listed in the owner's manual.
