Now to define the year it was made. Next after that is to sort out a 12v to 6v stepdown.

Not a Ford car horn, none I have seem anyway. Try it on six volts and see how it hoots. Feel it will be a six volt one.

Of to Jaycar later this week. Guys there want to test it for amp draw & work out what it's REALLY doing for amps/volts etc.

It will probably draw quite a lot of current - many amps! Are you able to measure the static resistance with a multimeter - this will give some idea of the peak current draw!

Amp draw (without power attached) at jaycar peaked at 33 & settled down to about 11 / 13 amps, so would presume something like 10 to 20 amps draw. Who's got an idea on what to use to drop 12V to 6V with a max 20 amp draw

What about using an old ign coil ballast resister, 1 of those ceramic 1's like you find on the 70's Valiants. (6V coil/ 12V supply) Would that do the trick, bearing in mind that it's only for short bursts
