I just purchased a used trumpet horn at the Hershey swap meet. I was missing the trumpet horn, but had the two smaller horns. The two smaller horns both worked fine. I cleaned the bracket and bolted the trumpet horn down tight where one of the other horns was and hooked the power wire up to it. I heard a very weak honk and then just the click of the relay. The horn sounds like it has some corrosion shaking around inside of it. I'd hate to have to rebuild it. Any suggestions for reviving it???

Gonna have to sleep on this one. The adjustment screw won't budge. I'll let it sit over night with some PB blaster on it and let you know if I can get this thing working. The horn isn't giving any sign of life at the moment.
No, I haven't tried that yet. My neighbors are going to love me.

There appears to be some kind of felt washer around the top of my oil dipstick, presumable to seal off the dipstick tube. I've looked around the usual parts suppliers but came up empty. There's not…Continue

While checking my Carter carb with engine running, I took the air cleaner off and there was a very loud hissing sound of air. I placed a piece of paper over the carb and it didn’t move up or down, is this normal?

Hey everyone, has anybody done a Vintage Air AC/Heat setup in their car? I want to bypass the old vacuum setup and go with a Vintage Air Gen 2 model. Before I get started, does anyone have any experience with this? (Which model to go with, do’s and dont’s, etc.) It looks pretty involved. Any and all info/pics would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I have been on Classic auto air in Tampa FL wait list for over a year , There is one on Old air products web site that looks very similar to the original # 21-4214A but states it fits 1962 Gm cars, The one recommended for a 1964 Cadillac is half the length 21-4215A What is everyone using ? I would prefer to be as original as possible. Thanks

My son, unbeknownst to me, had all three of the horns on our 1963 Eldorado completely restored. We had recently added the Eldorado trumpet horn to the two standard horns and the sound was not very good... we had heard good ones so we knew something was not right... but there was not much we could do to get better sound from the 3 horns.
There is a restoration service called The Horn Works who my son…
