    Since the plastic part, which holds the shift indicator and the horn contact, was cracked and glued together, i got one of e-bay in a very nice shape. When i remember well, i did remove the switch and the whole shift colar, to get better access for the wire routing. I wanted to pull the new cable through, by using the old one, but it disconnected in the column. I then managed to get a thin wire through and was able to pull the new wire down until the opening in the lower column.

      Frank, you have two horns that produce two different frequencies. They have different part numbers. The two frequencies together produce an acoustical beat. There is also a relation to musical notes, but that is well beyond me.

      It seems like modern horns are a bit higher in frequency than those on my TBird but I have no data to back this up; just seat of the pants impression.
