to 25 or 50, and save the changes. Since this setting is stored in your
browser 'cookies' (if enabled), it seems to use that stored value even

EXTERNAL PHOTO LINKS ON FORUM: You can still use external
photo links in your posts on the new forum. They follow the rules of
any link in that they have to have the URL link qualified down to the full image file
name (example: .jpg). The links will open in a new browser window, the same as
an uploaded image attached to a post. Since an image attachment to any post does not display inline
with the post, the results are the same. You can use multiple external links within a post. This link is from
photos on a site from Don Clink's 'Deuce@75' albums:
http://donclink.com/deuce_75_1/images/dscn2950.jpg
Using links from photo sites such as Photobucket can help in "size" issue
with uploaded attachment files. For best viewing in web browsers,
photos should be around the 800x600 pixel range, and probably not more
than 1024x768.
Most cameras today store HUGE jpg image files, as the default
settings are in the 7, 8, 10, and 12Mb image sizes. The image files that
are then attached
are very large, and the browser can't display the full image size
without using the scroll bars. Use the re-sizing functions of your photo
editing
software to reduce the image to 800x600, which reduces the file
sixe and the image load time in the browser. Don uses Google's free Picassa3
software,
which is an excellent photo management product. All of the photo
albums of the Deuce, Grand National, and Auburn that are links on the NORG
site
were built using Picassa's web creation functions. And it's free?
(THANKS to Don Clink for the info!)

Joe, the original horn relay has 4 terminals and there is one for sale on E Bay as item 390148385952. If you are replacing all of your wiring or intend to have the car judged, I would go with the original type relay. I have seen them quite often at swap meets for less money, if you can wait.
The 3 prong relay has one terminal for the two horn wires, one terminal for the -6 Volt connection and one terminal for the wire from the horn button. They should be marked on the relay, usually with +,- and no marking.

thanks tom, i actually disassembled the relay the horn came with and cleaned it up and figured it out. the horns are not original and the relay came with the horns i bought. in fact i believe they are delco remy horns and original delco remy relay to the horns.
im very curious as to what they came out of or if they are after market horns. someone told me delco remy horns were in GM cars. here is a picture, maybe someone can tell me.
thanks,
joe

i found the p/n off the relay, its out of a 54-55 corvette. i was also able to test the relay and could not get any voltage out of the horn terminal. took it appart and i found voltage at the top side of the points but not the connecting side. any one have an idea of why? bad coil maybe? also i should add the points did close.

If you have voltage on one side of the points and not the other, the points are not making contact. This could be from corrosion, dirt, other contamination or not enough wipe on the contact when the coil is operated.
The coil is a negative ground coil, so if the relay is marked BAT and GRND, make sure that you connect the POS side of the battery to the BAT terminal of the relay.
I have no idea about what was the original use of the horns pictured.
