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) |

Okay I'm putting the horns back after a respray of my 74 2.0. One is stock Hella, other is add on (that came with appearance group?). There are two sets of wires on each side, one brown (obviously ground), and the other a color (sorry, don't remember now). My question is, which gets plugged in to which side of the connectors on the horns? Or does it matter. There's nothing I can see on the horns themselves to indicate which side the wires should go. BTW, both horns work, but I have yet to deal with the horn wires in the steering column. Project for another day.
