type: Unknown Type

Description:

GM / AC Part Number 6499657 — Cluster Component — New Old Stock Original AC‑branded GM service part used in mid‑century GM instrument‑cluster electrical systems. This is a clean, unused NOS unit in its original AC “Quality Parts” packaging — ideal for restorations, dash‑cluster rebuilds, and period‑correct electrical service.

Specifications

  • Manufacturer: AC (AC‑Delco Division of General Motors)

  • GM Part Number: 6499657

  • Component Type: “Cluster” electrical component (GM used this label for cluster resistors, cluster filters, and cluster feed modules)

  • Era: 1960s–1970s GM electrical catalog

  • Condition: NOS — original box, clean terminals, no corrosion

Typical Uses

This part number falls into the GM “cluster electrical” family, typically used for:

  • Instrument cluster voltage stabilization

  • Gauge feed resistors

  • Printed‑circuit cluster components

  • Dash‑panel electrical service parts


🟦 CROSS‑REFERENCE CHART — GM 6499657

Because GM used “cluster” as a category rather than a single function, cross‑references are based on GM electrical service families, not identical part numbers.

Manufacturer Equivalent Part Number Notes
AC‑Delco D‑series cluster components Same service family
Delco‑Remy 19xxxx series Electrical service parts for dash clusters
Standard Motor Products VR‑/RU‑series Variable resistors & cluster feed units
Echlin (NAPA) ECH‑IC / ECH‑VR series Cluster electrical components
GM Supersession 250xxxx series Later GM electrical service numbers
Generic Industrial 12V cluster resistor / stabilizer Functional replacement depending on application

If you want, I can decode the exact function (resistor, stabilizer, filter, etc.) once you provide a photo of the component itself outside the box.
