I don't know who to ask about this, and this forum is the most reliable source of info that I have so I hope you can help. I want to get one of the "old-time" wolf whistles. Not one of those junky electrical ones (I had one and hated it), but one of those kind that run off of vacuum from the intake manifold. I have found some used ones on ebaymotors, but am unsure as to whether or not I should get one.
Is there anything that could go wrong with one of these pieces to make it not function correctly? :confused:
Thx for any help that you might be able to offer!

I think (unless I missed something) that JCwhitney only sells the electronic kind. I'll check agian though. Thx for the reply!

I think Moon Eyes carries the original style ones.

I have one on my old truck.The only thing I found was every once in a while I would have to spray some lube(WD40)into the cone.This would free up a cylinder type valve with holes in it that spins and causes whistle. I've seen them at sway meets from time to time.I beleive that someone is reproduceing them.Maybe try a site that deals with 50's customs.Kustom Kemps of America is a world wide club.Might find it there.

Thanks for the replies!
I have had no problem finding new ones, but I can get used ones cheaper. Other than the valve sticking like J_Fairchild experiencing (which doesn't seem like a big deal), is there anything I should else I should look out for when getting a used one? Or would it be worth the money to get a new one? Thx!

Any other tips or comments??

Should I consider posting this in a different place? Thx

Anyone???

K, thx you three- I appreciate it!!
