Default Need amperage rating for [INST LPS] and [TAIL] fuses

Does anyone know what the amp rating is on a 68 Firebird for the instrument panel lights and the taillight fuses? They are the ones on the fuse block/panel marked: [INST LPS] and [TAIL]

See attached picture

My car does not have the rally gauge package. It is the one with the huge gas gauge on the right and a 160mph speedometer on the left. All other indicators are idiot lights.

I lost all of the markings when I dipped the fuse panel in some OxySol rust remover. I took photos before and I am able to read all of the markings except these two.

I am working on making a template with all of the markings that I can apply to the fuse panel to restore the markings. It will be kind of like a one-piece decal that you would apply to the fuse panel. Not meant to be show original but functional.

fuse ratings are in factory service manual or glove box manual.

Thanks "Engineer" - I don't own a factory sevice manual nor do I have the owners manual.

I just thought that among the hundreds of Firebird owners that frequent this site one of them might be able to take a look at their fuse panel and supply me with the info.

On a '69 Firebird, the TAIL is a 20A fuse and the INST LPS is a 4A fuse.

Thank you HFR for the helpful reply.

I'm sure the rating for these are the same between these years. Now when I look at my Photo I think I can make out the 4 on the INST LPS and I was leaning towards 20 on the tail. Wow, 4 amp is low!

Thanks again
