  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    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.

    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!
