    If Bill passes or if you have more than one set, I would be interested in loud for 69.

    this afternoons update ..

    it looks like the part number was the same 491 492 65-69
    can anyone confirm...
    I show no working early dated horns,,, marked on box with "0" with a line thru it
    I can rebuild them if your into dates ...
    but if the part number is the same 64?-69 visually they hang and look the same

    here is my working BUICK list and pictures 1 and 2

    Both of mine are DOA. I have one apart and even the electromagnet wont produce; Ive re-adjusted AND physically moved the points myself, NADA. Even filed the points. They were pretty corroded. I left the 12VDC power supply on for 5 seconds and the coil did get warm.

    FWIW, the A & G notes produce a chord. Aint it just like GM to do something like that?

    I just need two black noise makers. I dont care if it sounds like a castrated bull, just noise! Ideas? Ya want the two OEM duds? RARE! One year only like everything else on this baby! Bill

    Scott I'll just give you a call later today.
    I'm not putting these on a GM but always loved that GM sound and chord. (WS)....
    Again Bill, sorry to piggy-back on your Ferris wheel.

    Bill.

    I have the pair from my '64 'lark.

    I can get the numbers this afternoon if that will help you get some from Scott.

    If you cannot locate a pair or get your fixed, you can have dibs on them. I just don't want to step in front of anyone's deals. :)

    usually 1 green wire with 2 black plugs in line a foot or so apart ....
    coming out of your harness between the headlights ....
    or near the drivers headlight wiring where it comes out of the wrapped harness
