Figured it was a good time to work on a few small things this evening.
Last time I was up as Dan Yocum's place I bought a small box of fan pulleys. So I figured it was a good time to media blast one of them and get it painted. This one will stack on top of my existing fan pulley and line up with the second groove on the crank pulley. One step closer having everything ready for the A/C compressor.
Next I went through my original horns. Neither of them worked, so I took them apart to see what was going on. All the metal contact surfaces were corroded as well all the points. So I took it all apart and media blaster them. Then reassembled the electrical portion and retested. Success!
I adjusted the points to get the tones pleasant, as the 6v horn on 12v had a different sound. Then put the dome covers back on and painted it chassis paint.
