Must be a rare beast.....
didnt know they had a factory air horn option.
you could always get a dixie one from JC-W
billy had a car a while back (grim) dont know what happened to it, sounded like a goose that got shot in the ---
I have one. It is slow to react.
Shoot it with WD 40 or PB Blaster. Most have a hole for oiling?
Or get the ones from Buicks or Olds.
Ah....no.Originally Posted by 135sohc

That's pretty good! Just what you need to wake up granny when that red light turns green!
Get one from a maserati
Not many Maserati's around my area. Does a Maserati have a air horn?
You can get Fiam horns from Harbour Freight tools. 2 or 3 horns. Or the auto chains also sell them.
They are the high screeching ones.
Yeah, I know I can get an air horn anywhere. The idea was to get an original Mopar setup, but I've given up on that idea. I'm having trouble getting some trim pieces for my convertible LeBaron, so I must have been dreamin' trying to find a good OEM air horn setup.
the problem is by now they are so old and worn out they just dont work right
Kinda like me!
I have a horn assm. out of an '87 Pacifica. I was never able to get it work with the OEM factory compressor (marked "Fiamm", not Mopar), but it will sound with 12-20# of compressed air. I am not an airhorn expert--so I don't know if this test means it's OK, just that it works with 12-20# of air from my shop compressor.
I looked into purchasing a replacement compressor at one time and the people at Fiamm (USA) were able to provide a p/n based on the m/n of horn. That was as far as I got with it.
Let me know if you're interested.
I was able to buy a new FIAMM compressor on ebay. I belive the compressor that comes with some of the FIAMM kits at most chain parts stores is a dirrect replacement for the old Mopar-FIAMM unit. I did have a hard time finding a good horn though. I ended up buying 3 horns before I got a good one. I took one of the bad ones apart and found the metal diaphrams inside were all corroded-rusty. These were standard on the 85 Laser XE, 87 Daytona Pacifica, and the 89-91 Maserati TC. Several 80's europeon sports cars used the same horn.

Decided to go with new stuff, even if it's not quite Mopar correct. Tired of old crap that doesn't work right.
