Have you checked motorcycle sources? I got an H4 bulb from a garage sale that was for a single bulb motorcycle. The location tabs needed some fiddling but with some needle nose pliers I got it to work. Honestly I don't think you need any location tabs. You should know where the top of the bulb is.

I think the reflector is plastic on the Auto Pal's. Still that's a savings over a traditional all glass bulb.

Found this:

http://www.taillightking.com/Headlight_bulbs.htm

31387 All with 7" Headlight Bulb Assembly, Crystal plastic lens and Metal reflector, 7" diameter, with H4 dual element 12 Volt bulb, Fits all headlights with 7" bulb, These look cool!! (In Stock!) $35 ea.

I remember that filter. I never ran one, but the canister type is old school. My 911 runs a canister filter but has a plastic housing that is very light.

No less surprising though and a little more than I would have guessed. If we all meet up soon I will bring a scale for the benefit of accuracy.

Is there some sort of bracketry associated with the canister? How/where does it get mounted?

Good idea ditching the dual filter system though. Just seems like added complexity when it's not needed. A lot of things in this thread go hand-in-hand with 'keeping it simple'. I'm always for reducing complexity and redundancy.

I installed it forgetting that I had a system 1.Milodon oil pump flows 23 GPM @7500 rpm.Fram HP1 flows maybe 14gpm.When 19 gpm hits a filter that flows 14,the bypass open and NOTHING is getting filtered.PM me for more info.
The system one cannister has its own mounting pad with 3 holes.

Lets make a day/time/place to meet next week, preferably your grotto Al to meet and check the scales.
Once you have the whole Taco filled and ready to rumble, I'll bring my digital scales to check it all in one.

It's all you FMJ

Yes,
I have checked on some 5 1/2" and 5 3/4" motorcycle lenses.
So far they have all been glass lenses.
Thanks for the reply!

I wanna hear about the weight difference between both the glass and plastic facade bulbs. Can't see much more than 1/2 Lb for each, but still worth it to take a whole pound or more off at the front with just (2)-(4) bulbs.

"Plastic" headlights

Car ID lists them as composite

Aren't Halogen bulbs suppose to be used with a resistor/regulator of some sought within the old system of our old cars?
If so, does all that gadgetry and its wiring undermine the weight savings?
Just wondering since I will probably pull the trigger soon as well.

My understanding based on the last line in Hella's description is no

Vision Plus 7" Sealed Beam Conversion Headlamp
Ideal for:
• Retrofitting older sealed beam headlights to newer halogen replaceable bulbs

Features:
• Based on European headlamp technology
• Brighter than a standard halogen due to improved optics without increased glare
• Produces 50% more powerful beam on low beam
• Produces 25% more powerful beam on high beam
• Single lamp fits left or right
• Replaces 6012, 6014, 6015, 6016, 6017, H6024, H6014, H6017, H6026
• Direct replacement for older sealed beam bulbs – no modifications

Okay. Thanks.
Now if they only would list the weights after all.
I guess most people that would buy them are not even aware of a potential weight lost if any being that they are not as anal as some of us on here. LOL.

The Car ID site shows them at a pound each, however my guess is that is a shipping weight not an accurate weight for our Jenny Craig standards

I would run a relay with a Halogen bulb that way you can get full battery power. You can pull battery power from the starter relay or alternator. On top of that you will not pull high power through your light switch. Headlight relays are small and plastic case and should be a ounce or 2. Hey I like bright lights.

And it's easy to wire up.

NEW ALL TIME BEST!
I really don't know where to start on this?
So first I'll let everyone know that my all time best has gone from a 9.499 back in 2008 when I had my 493 stroker built to a 9.434 @ 141.34 MPH!
This happened with a .03 slower 60 foot so a real low 9.4 is possible.
In addition my same weather runs are about .08 quicker compared to last year!
My weight loss goal was 20 LBS between the car and myself.
The car has lost a solid 10 LBS and me another 6 LBS for 16 LBS total!
Some things didn't work as planned such as the new tires.
The new tires were a pound a piece lighter but no weight loss compared to the old worn out tires@#$%^&*!
The new alternator actually added a few pounds but I can run what ever I need at any RPM now!
I think the rolling weight loss on the front brakes and tires was the biggest part of this.
Thanks to all who post ideas here especially our cheerleader FULLMETALJACKET!!
I'm still looking for that 7LB starter and plastic 5 1/2-5 3/4 headlights.

For the amount of real estate that GTX's shadow hogs up, it is to be feared just on its size as principal.
Never underestimate the Sumo cat in the next lane.

Quite impressive.

Congrats on the new bar raising ET and MPH.

One of my all time pat on the back stories back when was with a certain notched Charged Mustang that was feared with a 12-0 win record until we finally matched up for a presumed cake run based on their judgement.
Their team all scratched their heads and chuckled at my cars heavy LOOKING shadow under the light post. ............... They all scratched their respective heads again when that shadow left like a three legged scolded dog (stumble) and never looked back.
I must honestly say, that Stang was closely huffing at my door and did not want to rerun double or nothing just in case they or I were playing in the sand box.
With half of a car more to carry, I was probably just as light as he was. LOL.

Funny how some things on our cars go over our heads. I believe that my car 1965 has 5-1/2" headlamps, not 7"
If I'm correct, the 7"s are for later models with a single lamp on each side like the Cuda and the A-bodies.

I'll have to double check with the info ace in the hole "Special K"

FMJ...65 Coronets are the smaller 5.5"? but the 65 Bel II's are 7" along with all A bodies 65 up. I think the general rule is dual headlights 5.5" and singles 7"...
Then again I'm often wrong...

Kick.
I believe you are 100% correct. I forgot about the other relative Bell II's with their single lights hence a lighter front grill facade.
I guess it would be safe to say that the 70' and up Challengers had 5.5's as well being that they were double lamps.

Going back to your featherweight exhaust. How is it holding up?

What wall thickness tubing did you use? In an effort to free up some HP and shed some weight, I am looking to revisit my exhaust, and may try to cop your steez. I am torn between aluminum and thinwall SS.
