Default Horn question

Does anyone know which note horn is which on a 78? One is near the top of the radiator area and one is closer down to the front grille. I need the lower one but not sure which note it is.

I believe that the note is stamped on the horn. I believe Corvettes use C and F or C and F#. Look at the horn you have and just get the other.

Looks like I gave you bum gouge. The two horns are "A" and "F" but I still don't know which is which without looking. Either Eckler's or Mid-America had them. Not cheap, around $35.00 each.

If your lower horn is not working, as mine once did, here is how I fixed mine. Really easy, I just removed the unit and took it to the bench and with a small hammer and some light taps I was able to free it up. I did that about a year ago and is still working fine, knock wood :smash:

If that doesn't work, should I try a bigger hammer? :D
