    Hey Adam,

    Question about the four note horn that's just barely visible in the above picture: is the "trumpet" style horn seen in the picture the same item as would be in a mid-60's Caddy with a multinote horn? There's a guy selling a few of these on eBay, getting a little tempted....but want to get the "right" one.

    Here it is:

    Thanks in advance,
    Steve.

    The ebay one has the wrong bracket. I'll have to get another picture for you up close....

    That sure sounds sweet! :TU:
    Interesting to compare that sound clip to the one you posted earlier, post 52.

    Now you've got me second guessing my TA 212 cam choice. :idea2:

    I fried the ignition module the other night when I was messing around with it. A new one from Jegs came today, along with new 8mm plug wires...so I'm back in business!

    To do:

    Torque convertor
    Shift Kit
    Governor recalibration
    Hang guages
    Buff paint
    Detail undercarriage
    Detail wheel wells

    There's not much to do with the trunk and interior except vacuum :grin:

    First cruise this Satuday night!! ....if it doesn't rain.

    New convertor is in..

    Waiting for transgo kit and governor recal kit.

    Driving this car around with the new convertor is making me think I'll need sticky tires...bad!
