While reassembling my ‘72 project it’s come time to figure out my horn situation. I found these two horns in a box and am not sure if one or both were original to the ‘72. My car does have the wiring for two horns but I can not remember if both of these were on it before disassembly. I kind of think the smaller one was on my ‘74 parts car.
Either way, I need to know: are these two normally used in conjunction with one another as low/high (quiet/loud (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ) - if that can even be determined without part #s? If they are both of the same volume I guess I’d just be using one - or do two quiet ones make a loud (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Are there any knowledgeable horn experts that can help? Thanks . Attached image(s) |

..I believe the one on the left is stock, at least it looks like the one I have on my -70. If you decide not to use it, let me know. Mine sound kind of sick... Ok, that would make since as this particular ‘72 tends to have attributes of the early cars (‘72 being a transitional year). Can someone refresh my memory: 1) did they indeed come in hi/low varieties or were they all of the same sound level [w/ two horns just equaling a louder set up]? 2) If two are installed (and one is louder than the other), is there a way that they get individually activated when pressing the horn button/pad? Originality doesn’t really matter to me tho on this build. I’d be willing to run both of these horns IF they work together. Any reason why they wouldn’t? @Jett do you have access to the p/n’s on those that you posted, and know which is which.. so I can figure out what the small one is that I have? Thanks. . |
