Horn Works - Klaxon - 8C 6volts

Image
Thanks to my brother-in-law Eugene and my Nephew Dave (good name) we got a lot of the electrical working on Sunday - 24 June.  I was in the house when I heard the distinct noise that brought me back to my submarine days - Dive - Dive - Dive - alright maybe not exactly the same - but still a good and distinct noise that got some neighbors out of the house to come over and inspect what was going on.    So - the horn has been working on and off - seems it works for like 3-4 blasts and then it stops.  So I took it apart and checked it out, cleaned what I could and put it all together. I didn't put it back in the truck because it is like 100 degrees outside today. Here are some of the pieces I was working on in the house with A/C. Information off the horn: Klaxon - 8C 6 volts Delco - Remy Corp. Anderson, IND. USA Holding the horn together - 6 bolts - 3/8 in. open end 2 bolts horn bracket to frame - 1/2 in.

No not the Band from the 70's. I think it stands for Keep it Simple - not sure what the last S is. Thanks Bob for becoming a follower. So yesterday, 17 April, I wanted to make sure the truck was going to continue to start on a regular basis - after all it should right - It has a rebuilt generator/regulator, starter and new starter button, battery cables, fresh gas and condenser.   Yeah - not so simple - it continued to backfire and not want to start.  I know if Jeffery was here he would say - its not getting gas, is there gas in the tank Dave? Keep it Simple Dave - yes there is gas in the tank - Jeffery, (why is Jeffery in my head and I am answering him?) Guess its time to call Eugene. He suggested I check the Vacuum Fuel Feed System Filter to make sure it wasn't clogged. Good call Eugene. Thanks for helping me Keep it Simple.... Put that all back together, but still not wanting to start. So I drained the gas from the tank, dis...

Flywheel and learning something new - Pretty cool

Image
Bob Stein from church came over to look at the truck - just in conversation at church - learned he worked on classic cars when he was in college and is currently helping someone with a Model T - pretty cool.  We tried starting it up but had no success and of course that got us both into figuring out why - since it started up the last 2 days.   He asked all the questions about what we have been doing with the car and then the fun began for the day. There is also a 40 degree marking on the flywheel - but I did not take a picture of that (at least I think there is) In trying to fine tune the truck it worked better if we followed the 1928 engine directions instead of the 1927: file:///C:/Users/Owner/Downloads/show_pdf%20(4).pdf SO now the issue becomes what year is the truck actually, but that is for another post/date, as I am still researching that information.  IGNITION TIMING Chevrolet Models 1925 to June, 1927 (all models without semi...
