    Horn value?

    I am asking $75 and I have a guy who says he will buy it, if he can cancel the new one he ordered almost a year ago and haven't seen yet.

    Horn value?

    I have a perfectly good Ames horn that I no longer want to keep around since I no longer have a Model A. Just wondering what the value is? It has a few coats of black paint on it, but works perfectly. It was from my dads 28 A. Why I have it I can't remember as the car was sold in the 60's.

    I have the horn, and am trying to sell it on facebook and craigslist, but in the meantime, if it doesn't sell (I'm not gonna give it away) I just am looking for a CHEAP way to make it work. Actually what I REALLY want for my Mustang is one of those horse whinny horns. But I am too tight to...

    using model A horn on 12 volt system

    So I have a 1928 Ames horn that works good, but I would like to use it on my 65 Mustang. How can I accomplish this. I have ran it directly on 12 volts, but it doesn't sound good.

    Radiator Paint

    Actually, an unpressurized radiator with 50/50 antifreeze in it can get much higher than 212but not that much to worry about.

    What is driving an A on snow/ice like? Can you add studs to A tyres?

    I, being 77 years old, remember studded tires very well. I had them on my work car, and in my garage, I even had a studding gun, and studded other peoples tires. At one time I even had all 4 tires on my old work 63 chevy car studded. Handled great on slick roads.

    Renumbering question

    I agree with eagle, and also, don't sell it in California. Here in Nebraska, we also have to have the numbers (not the rest of the car) inspected on any car bought in another state. I asked the county sheriff who was a friend of mine what if I buy a car and the engine number doesn't match the...

    I can get one of those 1 ohm 100 watt resistors really cheap from eBay, so I think that is what I will do. Thanks all.

    Corn Head grease source(s)

    Tractor supply has it in quart squeeze bottles, and it is the same as "OO" grease. I use it in all Snapper equipment that calls for "OO" grease which is practically everything. I also put in my A steering box, and the U joint. Good stuff for lots of applications that need something heavier...

    6 volt horn in 12 volt vehicle

    I am sure that rewinding the coils would be best, but I really would like to keep the horn original, as someday, I will probably put it up for sale. Especially seeing what people are selling horns for now days. I can probably get 1/2 as much for the horn as we sold the whole car for in 1964...
