Thanks so much…Im trying to fix the horns of my Chevy Blazer/76…I let
you now whats going on!! God Bless you!!
Many thanks. Went thru my 63 Galaxie horns today and was able to restore
them to great working condition. Great video. Saved my horns!
Excellent!… Nothing like vintage mechanical horn sound. Electronic horns
just don’t make the grade on yesterdays vehicles. Rust and corrosion are
the prime problems. 🙂
Yes. I think so. In the larger car of that year, they had two, for two
tone. Adjusting the magnet set screw changes the pitch. One would be
slightly lower than the others.
By adjusting the vibration screw, all you did was loosen some surface rust.
Might still want to hit the ear with some DB Blaster though. Thanks for the
comment.
I have a couple of Fo Mo Co Horns (Ford Motor Company Horns) Off of a 67
Jaguar. I got them to work after years of them sitting on the car in the
junk yard by simply adjusting the screw. They both sound great. Nice and
loud.
DB Blaster.. Great stuff… Many uses besides getting rusted nuts and bolts
loose.
Hey man just wanted to say thanks i planned on replacing the old horn on my
58 f-100 didn’t want to just didn’t think it would ever work but i found
your video and went with you step by step and the same time yours went off
i about fell out of my chair cause so did mine lol thanks again Brian
I have one like this, but it is really quiet. Any ideas how to fix it?
There is a standard screw adjustment on the horn. It’s the only such
adjustment. Turn it out a few times, remembering the turn count. Apply
power, let it vibrate for a few seconds. Remove power, and turn back the
screw to the count. Apply power and see what happens. If still hums, put
more loosening oil down the ear canal. And shake, drain, and try it again.
If still no luck the rust inside may have taken it’s toll. BUT, “Humming”
is a good sign the coil and such are working. Play with it.
I have this exact horn and followed your procedure but all I can get is a
hum. Thoughts?
Clean it up like I did to mine. You many have to adjust the gap, but do the
clean up first and don’t forget inside the ear drum.
What is the cleaner you are using?
gonna save my 63 galaxie horns now after watching this, I think they’re
exactly the same.
