Is there a source to get a horn repaired or does anyone have a source for the capacitor. The horn is from a 52 Chevy 1/2 ton. | | |

Can you read the values on the cap you have? Is it sodered in or have legs that are bolted on? There are some guys on this board that really know this stuff...maybe they will pitch in here.
Good Luck | | |
