I have asked your question a few times and no one has yet responded with first-hand experience in dealing with a horn restorer. | | |

Several el circuts in them. Loks to be a couple of place to adjust them, but who knows what to adjust. Looks to be a set of points in them, along with a viberator, and some diodes. Cloth wiring eveywhere in there. Too bad that horn guy only does 64 and up. Got a set from a 50 truck, but there differnt than the 47 ones, and only the lo one works from that set. Thouhgt i could just change out the inside part, as i powered coated the shell and cover of mine, but the bolt patterns are differant. So typical of chevy parts. The same,but not really. Maybe i should find someone to teach me how to restore them, and start a businees. | | |

Make sure all breakable objects are clear of work area prior to working on any horn. Take horn apart and close the contact point's in increments of 1/32 (of a turn) to the close, adjustment is pretty important to get the viberator to work propery.. Using heavy (I use 10 ga.) wires for groung and positive, ground horn to battery and touch the positive wire to terminal after each adjustment.When horn works retighten the lock nut.Good luck,
P.S.Bet you a buck you jump when it first works so insure that no objuct are knocked off work bench. Beaver 53 | | |
