Backup Light Bulb #'s for 75

I'm diagnosing some turn signal/backup light problems. Is there a fact sheet somewhere to list the bulb #'s for a '75 tail light/brake lights/backup lights? Can't find anything in the AIM.

Suggestions for engine bay paint

As I start cleaning up the engine bay on the 'new' '75 project I'm wondering which black paint I should use. I'm leaning toward a black gloss versus flat black. Any suggestions for paint type/brand?

1975 pop-up lights re # of bolts

Can't find what this is for (sorry no pic)

On my 79 there is a white piece of small diameter hose that is taped to the 2 wires (black & orange) that feed the heater blower motor. There is no termination point so it's been cut off at some...
