Thanks for Sharing Remford, Where are you going to install it?
Mine is behind the tire well, in place of the orignal.

Ooga Horn

I have an original Ooga Horn made in the late '40s or '50. It uses no electric, but gets its results from manifold vaccuum. It was manufactured by Yoder Mfg. out of California. It's about 5 inches high by 7 inches long and has a cone or horn shaped end to shoot out the sound. You pull a lever which releases the pressure.

I had always planned on hooking it up to my '54 Ford someday, but perhaps the HHR would be deserving of it, based upon its '40s roots.

You might find one on e-bay, but I suspect you'll pay dearly. If you ever wanted one, I go to Carlisle and Hershey, along with other swap meets, and I'd be glad to look around for you. Let me know... I could forward pictures if necessary.

I bought a 12 Volt "Oooga" Horn at Harbor Freight and plan to hook it up this weekend. Does anyone have information on disconecting the existing horn and hooking up another horn in its place?

My oogah horn is in the same place as the original WAS.
Used the same wires, only spliced so if I ever need to put the original back I can.

I mounted mine (JC Whitney special) inside the front bumper using one of the existing holes and an "L" bracket. Wired it to a seperate button.

Cool so you use the same wires and when you push the steering wheel horn it works?
