Waking up an old trumpet horn
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???

I'm on road to Birmingham AL and don't have access to my books and notes but that sounds correct and looks correct.

Checked the number again in some decent lighting and it is actually 899. Hopefully that is the correct horn for my '64 Cadillac. Now just to get it working -_-

I'll double check that number tonight. I might be being dyslexic here. That's some great info on the rebuild, but I really hope I don't have to go through all of that.

I believe the # was 898. I'll have to get a meter to check the ground but the other horn hooked to the same spot works fine. Thank you for the info Dave.

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.

Have you tried turning the adjustment screw one way then the other while applying 12 volts.

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed

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?
Vintage Air AC

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!

Who rebuilds original AC accumulator dryers for 1964 Cadillac? 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
