Are you looking for any specific dates Bob or will any do as long as they are clean and working.

Terry,
Prestolite's clean and working would be fine.
Thanks Bob

Bob- if you get a set of non-working, they can usually get going pretty easily.  Else, I know a guy in Wisconsin who does a very nice rebuild of them.  I may have have some non-working singles- will need to dig into the garage.

@benguin who's the guy in Wisconsin Refurbishing them? Mine are original and working but if they come back clean and looking new for a good price, I might not do them myself.

@7E-Bodies  Gary Steinkellner up in Beloit.  I had started accumulating several non-function horns (2 from a harsh lesson in getting them media blasted).  I sent two dead Prestolites up to him and they came back looking fantastic, and I swear my horns were never this loud. Can't tell they were opened up and rebuilt either- good attention to detail.

I wonder how Gary attaches the two halves. Most DIYers just use machine screws with nuts.

Question. Are both horns supposed to sound identical or is one high and the other a lower tone?  Mine are the latter.

[EV2RTSE]

One high and one low. High gets installed on top.

They are rivets that look very close to my originals.  I just now did a closer look, and there is a bit of a dimple on the firewall side compared to my original, but that might have been from more paint over the years.

Those look pretty good. Can't really tell.

I've been digging for horns along with everything else.
I do have a question,  maybe it's a dodge vs plymouth  thing and i have no dodges.
All my horns are the same size., both high and low note.
The pictured one is larger on top. Is that standard in  70?

They are the same size...in the picture, it's just closer to the camera

My 70 Challenger "upper" horn says HI on it. I can't see the lower horn without taking it off. which I can can if needed.
